Wrapping up day two of our final prep before the delivery to Chicago. Sorted out many of the electrical issues including the autopilot.

But the biggest hurdle was replacing all the head exchangers, hoses, manifold gaskets and head gasket. Working on this engine is no treat as it’s shoe horned in below the galley and everything on it weighs 5x more than it should… but we got it ripped down and the head off! Can see where the gasket was compromised and letting oil mix with coolant. Time to clean it up and reassemble!
