Sounds like you havn't stripped the cylinder heads yet, it will be interesting to see the condition of the lifters, valve guides etc. I'm assuming you are using new chain tensioners, timing chains & IMS bearing when you are assembling the engine.
Keep us all posted and add pictures as the re-build as it goes ahead - lot of interested parties here......

Yeh, its all a bit odd actually the rest of the engine is fully stripped and EVERYTHING looks to be in perfect condition other than the damage shown in the photos !
I'm planning to reuse pretty much everything that I can and sticking with only using new Bearings, Gaskets and various seals. Basically because everything else looks to be within tolerance and in perfect working order.
This plan may change when I begin putting it back together but we shall see.
The parts from the USA are now on route so hopefully next weekend will be 2 days of rebuilding the heart of the Boxster !
