Total labor time: 23.5 hrs. Glad it's done, my back/arms/legs/everything is sore.. I put the Walmart Supertech oil and filter in with 1/2 qt of MMO. I'll be changing it in 1000 mi or so and putting the Mobil 1 back in. When I drained the oil after the head swap I didn't see any coolant in it, but I'm sure there is trace amounts in it, not to mention the gasket [censored] that fell down the oil passages as I was cleaning the block.

Edit: Gee you guys are strict on here. I just said gasket cr-p, not the other word..
