The weather sucked the last few days, so I just cleaned up the gasket mating surfaces and parts. Today I spent about 6-7 hours starting the real reassembly!

I spent a few hours with brakeclean, scraper, and ye-olde brass brush to get the remaining dead gasket crap off.

tacking on the block-side gasket with some Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 to hold it in place

clamping on the cover just to seat the gaskets, again with permatex #2...

lined up, with all bits in place...

Torqued down to 7-ft-lbs. Was a real PITA to reconnect the linkage to the injection pump from the governor.

Crank pulley installed! Still need to torque down the injection pump.

painted the removed body panels while they’re off (ignore the gasket still in it’s packing, I took this picture before reassembly of that level)

Still need to torque down the injection pump, put on the water pump, and reassemble the cooling system. I flushed the radiator and thermostat housing in prep today.
 

I’m debating starting it up without coolant in it just to make sure the timing bits are good before I reassemble the cooling system and block access ...

Beer and dinner. Well deserved.

Excellent work. Yeah...I'd start it. Or at least turn it over. You'd have a few good minutes before heatsoak became an issue.
