Total project was about 2 months working nights

10% Disassembly
15% Assembly
20% Figuring out what to do
55% Cleaning/painting parts

Costs about $1500
50% Machine shop work
30% Parts
10% Cleaners and rags
10% Beer

Things I should have done.

Purchased a high quality rebuild kit - most of my gaskets were cheap paper and I had to repurchase the head gasket,

Tell the shop NOT to paint the head.

Take a lot more pictures on disassembly

Use a lot more plastic bags for bolts and parts – label them with more detail.

Win the lotto so I could have bought more beer.
