Dave,
That's awesome, congratulations! It's such a great feeling when you've
done it all yourself, you learn so much doing it. Plus you know so much
more about the engine in general.
Way to go, now go sailing. Good luck on the Bermuda trip.

Engine fired up today! Some costs and lessons;
Rebuilt head. $130 (still blown away at how cheap that was)
Rebuilt starter $200
Rebuilt alternator $300
Assorted gaskets etc $150
Rebuilt injectors $300
Injectors were a mess. In retrospect it caused my crappy idle and
high fuel consumption.
Didn't take enough good pictures from enough angles.
Engine manual invaluable.
A clean engine bay is very soothing.
Bleed screw on injection pump is very important and was, until now, an
unknown bleed point.
I now own a 2 foot socket extension without which the starter would
have remained immovable.
Learned much and I should be engine happy for many years.
