I would definately clean it up. Looks a little carbon and possibly rust coated. I've always used a tub of diesel fuel and a good stiff, yet absorbent, brush to clean hard parts like your rocker arms. The diesel is a good solvent that isn't as flammable as gasoline, and is much cheaper that buying store brand cleaners. Also, I love the smell of that diesel.
