Not to be a downer, but those housings don't look nearly clean enough for reassembly. Unless there are some other pics where it shows the side of the housings to be clean and shiny, the o-ring surface is way too dirty to form a good seal...

Nice, but me personally, I would have had the housings/irons sitting in a hot tank overnight, and then have them sent out for powdercoating. If that was out of my budget, at the very least, heat paint...
Personally I want to see some pictures with everything installed, and then some compression numbers

Aaron is right, its a bit dirty. Simple Green Auto Degreaser (industrial strength Simple Green) is the best for cleaning the parts. Just soak overnigt. PArts look brand new. I have a few rotors in my tank right now I will ahve to snap some picks of and post later. They look brand new!
