The rebuild was not as hard as I had imagined. It is just a steady as you go check and recheck every step - don't hurry and be meticulous with keeping the work area around the head clean.
Unfortunately on the end it all was in vain.... but a nice experience.
just today received the replacement head from PatrolApart. Exciting weekend to come : did the bottom end of the engine suffer from the water/oil mix or not ? Only had it run stationary and on new oil for diesel engines (more detergent) . Will keep you posted.
