Nice work. Welding the socket had to be a real treat...

The head gasket was still sealing compression or you would have seen black discoloration leaking across the surface. Good news all around even it it don't feel like it after a long day. Go grab a glass of your favorite "assembly lube" and rest up. You're on the home stretch.

Told ya the 2x4 would work well. It might seem a little "cave man" - but some sort of drill guide really is worth the effort.
