I got the trans back from Marlin.

Here's my 16 month old "helping" in the garage. He actually already knows how a screwdriver works.

So, on my day off this week, I decided to try to get everything else back together as well.
First, i finished cleaning up the back of the head.

Then, I got the plate ready for install. I used FIPG for oil around the EGR ports, and the green tube is what Toyota uses with the newer coolants.

Installed! The sealant oozed out a bit and looks messy, but it should hold. I was also concerned about the cam plug possibly leaking, so added some sealant under its flap.
