Looks good. Did you go through the entire motor? Did you have to bore it out or just hone the cylinders? Does that instrument cluster fit right in the factory spot?

I just put new gaskets, new glowplugs, injectors, Headstuds in everything else looked good. And yes guage cluster should fit directly into factory spot ,thanks for your interest
