Well, I finally got my 2.25d block into the machine shop, and after cleaning & magnafluxing they found a couple cracks through the waterjackets :mad:. I have a 300tdi waiting in the wings, so I'm just going to write this guy off. Which means I've got a lot of parts if anybody is interested!
Head checked out good when it was at the same machinist a couple years ago - should just need a good cleaning and the old gasket scraped off. Everything else was working when I disassembled, but hasn't been cleaned or checked. If somebody wanted to take the whole lot off my hands at once that'd be my preference, otherwise I guess I'll ebay what I can and send the rest to the metal recyclers.
In addition to engine guts, there's:
Starter
Clutch
SII Transmission & bellhousing (haven't checked numbers, was a reman put in 5-10 years ago)
Manifolds
I'll entertain any offers up to and including free to the first guy to show up.
