That is the cylinder head that you have pictured.

I just replaced my manifold gaskets (upper and lower) and mine looked almost like yours.

pic of mine is attached.

Those ports go into your cylinders, I personally would be careful on making sure debris does not fall into the cylinders when cleaning the surface for the new gasket.

I had my kid hold a shop vac by where I was cleaning the surface and move it as I moved, I also used a plastic scrapper, don't use a metal scraper to clean the surface.

I did not try to clean the ports out for fear of getting crap into the cylinders.

Hopefully other can provide more info for you.

Good luck with your project.
