Yes - it's doing nicely, knock on wood. Getting 46 mpg tanks regularly. On a good day I do better than that on a 50 mile commute run, around 50 mpg.

I had to clean the EGR a couple times after the head rebuild. Apparently you're supposed to do that every 30K or something like that?? I got a CEL that sent me to the EGR - P0401. I hope I don't have to replace it - best price I could find was $180 locally, and about $130-something on the web.
