Is it save to assume that you replaced the timing chain/tensioner/rails when you did the headgasket? Did you do the late 606 water pump with big impeller?

Did you do a valve job?

Has the tranny been rebuilt?

Sounds like a nice car. Im thinking about a diesel again for daily driver. My 500E is getting too nice to daily drive.

How much do you want for it?

Do you have a price on it?

So you pressure tested the head and it checked out?

The machineshop told me that it needed nothing done to it
