Re sealing an engine??

Hi fellas
Heres another one for discussion-
I've got my engine on the 360' stand now and have cleaned off years of accumulated oily gunk, sent the rusty black tinwear off for blasting and powdercoating (kept the original paint fan shroud tho).
The engine fired up with very little coaxing after a 28 year lay up - but I'm looking at it now wondering where all the oil came from that I've just finished cleaning off.
I'm planning on running the motor for a season at least as is without going in deep, the question is which oil seals / gaskets etc. would you recommend renewing whilst the engine is on the stand
I've bought myself a pair of quality rocker cover gaskets - but I'm thinking I should maybe go a little further
Any comments - past experiences
Thanks
Steve
