Ok as promised some pics.
First the cylinder walls on #5 and #6. Some normal, expected wear. Nothing that would create problems or fail a compression test.


Now showing the previous repair attempt on the actual head. Note the "little" metal band between the intake/exhaust valves. This of course is preventing the valves to sit and by simply pouring brake fluid we can see it leaking (what should not happen). The solution now is to take the head to a machine shop and get it fixed (yes, can be done). Or buy a new head (if you are paranoid). After going through this, now that we know the steps required, I honestly do not give a crap. If it happens again down the road we will tear it down AGAIN and fix it AGAIN. So far US 1 x Porsche Failure 0.

Here are the pics:



So that is it dear friends. I am now confident the car will back on the road by early September! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
