Yeah, I guess I should update progress.

Clearwater agreed to send a new cylinder head out last week with the stipulation that I have the old head ready for UPS pickup on Monday. I pulled the head this past weekend, and had it boxed up for pickup. It is now Wednesday morning, and the old head has not been picked up yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

I just followed up via email this morning to see if they called out UPS to pick up the old head, and if they actually shipped the new head last week as they stated they would. Will see how quickly I hear back, if at all.

New OEM head gasket should be at the dealer tomorrow. I am re-using the head bolts and all of the other gaskets, since there is virtually no run time on them. I couldn't get them to agree to pay for all new seals and gaskets, so I took what I could get. Hopefully I will have everything by the end of the week, and start putting the engine back together this weekend. Hopefully...
