Head Replacement Update
I have received the new head and am ready to begin reassembly. Total costs was $3800. This includes new everything in or on the head (injectors, glow pulgs, valves, seals, cam, lifters, prechambers, fuel lines, head bolts, and chain tensioner,). Also includes a new vacuum pump and belt tensioner. I hope to begin reassembly this weekend. It the meantime I refinished the center console wood and replaced the shifter bushings.
The center console didn't come out as well as I hoped. I had a hard time removing the old finish. Got a little aggressive with sand paper and wore through some laminate in places. Stained it anyway and put lots of marine polyurithane on it. Here is a picture. Probably will look for a replacement once my bank account recovers in a few years.
