He changed the AOS and tried to start it. It started but was missing cylinder 1. He took off the head and found that side scotched so hence the teardown and found destruction.

I see now. Terrible news :/ I can only imagine how pissed you were.

I like your silver Porsche car a lot, the interior, everything. Like others said it looks as if you are not going to get any better than this sport car for $6k. I also say press on asap and get it back.

Wow so it looks like that little puff of smoke I'm getting at start-up I.e the one I tell myself "pffff, not a huge deal" immediately needs special attention I guess. Although I do have a 2.5 engine (used) sitting in a crate and stored here in SH, I can't imagine having to swap it for a AOS bang.... man you'd hear me scream up to North America

Luck bro, good to see you back here btw (regardless of the issue)
