Hows you're coolant and oil look?

pressure check seems alright. Altho ive only used one a couple times trying to find external leaks.

And on my motor it would use like a half gallon of coolant a month or month and a half till I pulled the heads to fix a cracked exhaust manifold bolt and blown manifold gasket. Cleaned up the heads and block good put new valve seals in too when I was in it. Got it all together and no more coolant leakage.
If I remember right I think my valve cover looked milky sludgey too.

If you're pretty ambitious it shouldn't take more then 2 days to pull the heads and inspect and reinstall.

Does seem weird tho that it started all of a sudden after you put new parts on
