May swap the Raised ear drain plug for one of the others that do not get dragged out. Got to working on head today after planting flowers and plants wife brought home from BIL's. Head is parts transferred save the rear cam cover and cam, also one Fuel line fitting to front of head, likely NOT this week but soon will swing it into place. Did have to make a repair while off the head, came off in Two parts!!
Been hearing stories of EPA busting heads on aftermarket suppliers, ordered single turbo kit this morning from Momentum Worx.

One consideration had been worried of was the rods lower shells, now that have been on new head it also has that same Luster appearance to the cam bearings.

Engine will get a spritz of paint when sealed up an test ran, I am not too concerned of aesthetics except for the exterior. Otherwise will just stay cleaned AFTER is running again.

MORE parts arrive, So I chose a different KW Dealer to the one been using as found they have a regular delivery run thru our little town to a truck line shop south of here, NOT a problem to drop off parts I order and paid for on CC!! So I ask as to CAT Parts, NOT a problem again!!
So I order the cam end cover and screws(They had the screws ON HAND, had been quoted by CAT as to price, had seen all manner of NOS Prices on Fleabay and other web sites all well above the CAT quote, so inside the bag was my receipt. CAT had quoted OVER $20 for the Cover and OVER $3 each for the screws, SAME SUPPLIER as to KW and these were delivered, I did NOT have to go pickup. Turbo is part of the Momentum Worx order, manifold is due to arrive today!
