You are not going to expose the head gasket. You will expose the valve cover gasket(s). It and the spark plug rings are neoprene or viton, they can be reused if not damaged. You will need some grey sealant for the cam ends.

You should probably consider replacement of the cam oiling tubes. They've been redesigned with bigger holes, though your late-model SR20 might already have them.
