$300 for 43h sitting in pasture for about 20 years. $330 for head rebuild. $125 for salvage yard block, $330 new piston kit, $80 gasket kit, $60 cam bearings, $140 sleeve installation, press cam bearings and block plugs and magnaflux and clean block, $25 for water jacket plate, and no way of counting up all the hours spent during the process. Hit the starter late yesterday and to my amazement, she started right up. I took it a few turns around the field and now feel like the time and money was worth it. I received a lot of really good advice and suggestions over the past months from this forum and could not have completed this project without Your assistance. Mucho Gracias, John Rimes-London Tx

Congrats John! You did forget one expense though...what was the total cost on the beer it took to complete the project? I find most rebuilds cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 in Miller High Life...depending on how many of the neighbors see the lights on and stop by. I tried to curtail the free handouts by switching to Blatz, but the my friends reiterated the point that there are two kinds of beer...cheap and free. Ya gotta love em' for that!

Have fun with that H!

Billy

That's great news! However, you forgot one thing. After all the things you did and how much you spent, once you turned it over and it fired right up: PRICELESS! Good luck with your H. BobG in Va
