Look, you did fine. The only 'big thing that seems to be missing from your list is suspension components.
Think of it this way....
The value of a 'roller' (bad engine) is ~$2-2.5K. Your risk is therefore $4.1K.
If you another car for, say $5.1K, with less known history, as a roller it's still worth the same ~$2-$2.5K, hence your risk is $3K....
....or $1,000 less that what you bought with a decent history trail.
Enjoy your car!
