Reassemble continued...

With all new gaskets and zincs, the forward and aft cooling chambers were put back together. Top left and right pics are of aft chamber. Left pic shows the temp sensor in place, which I'm thinking of replacing as well. Now waiting for that part to come in. Right pic shows very tip of new exhaust hose section replaced from the metal exhaust elbow to the soon to come new waterlock/muffler. This section was beginning to deteriorate.
Bottom left picture shows forward cooling water chamber back together, as well as water pump in bottom left of the pic; alternator is on the right, and hopefully still in place since taking apart the forward cooling chamber involved removing a piece attached to the alternator, which Russell and I have spent much time trying to secure in place with proper drive band tension!
Bottom right pic are the two new zincs, and evidence of securing the new and backup parts. I'm always amazed at how much the gaskets (seemingly little pieces of paper) cost.

So, are you ready to determine whether the motor will overheat again. Even if you don't find a "smoking gun" in stats there is a situation where no one variable is significant but when all the variables in the equation are taken together the equation is significant. All that meaning that multiple small causes can add up to a significant problem. Kind of like life.
