Hi

   The valve cover as I know it, is not the cylinder head, but the cover above it. That cover to which the tach cable affixes. Taking it out as if you were to adjust valves. Make sure it is lubed and free of water, moisture or foreign material.

  Take the spark plugs out too, and pour a spoon full of motor oil into each cylinder through plug hole.  Like this, you can later ..( let it soak a few hours)  ...use a wrench and turn the engine, so it will move and lube itself, pistons, cylinders, valve train, hopefully it will not be frozen.

  I would not remove the cylinder head unless engine was frozen.

  About alternator area, I would remove the rotor, stator, and clean area, with fine sand paper or a dremmel toll with a polish end, and then remove all dust and contaminants with WD-40, which is good for electrical conduction and water repelent.

  About the broken case, JB Weld and a Heli Coil the size of the stock bolt, could be used to affix thread onto broken case section. JB Weld os a cold mix that works like welding,  without the risks of actual welding, like high temp, meltdown of case, etc.

   Once the engine has been turned a few times with a wrench ( manually) and gotten lubed, you can get it started, and test rideen.

    Keep ot up .
