I got my head back from the shop today. He shaved 0.008" off the head to get rid of the potted aluminum at the back of the head where the leak was. I had them completely rebuild the head so I should be good for another 200K!! He charged me $600 if I paid Cash. I am now in the process of cleaning everything so I can get the head back on. Hopefully I will get the injectors on Monday or Tuesday.

At this point I have replaced the fuel filter, the brushes in the alternator, the water pump & new fan clutch. I have about $1,300 in parts and labor so far. for all the items.

I am thinking about pulling the crank pulley and fixing the oil pump cover leak tomorrow since it looks pretty easy to access with all the stuff off the engine right now. Anyway, I hope to have it up and running by next weekend!! I hope
