(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have dropped the engine and tranny and now have gone down as far as the piston cylienders abd heads, there were no gaskets on then at all the push rod tubes had orange silicone on the seals some were just o-rings not for the porshe itself some were some other kind of seals. I ordered a complete set from pelican parts, the 1st Question is this, when i took off the drivers side head one of the fins on cylender 4 partially broke off about 4 " of it, will that effect the cooling of it. 2nd question the pistons in cylender 2&4 and the valves are clean, the 1&3 piston heads have carbon bild up on top of the piston and valves cylender walls are smooth as a baby's butt, should I take the piston cylenders off and have them polished and cleaned or scrape off the carbon build up and put back togeather I dont have the ring compressor to put them back on. there were a lot of things that i saw that was not right or missing. any suggestions would be appreciated.

no gaskets on the cylenderheads for one, very bad oil leaks on the passenger side when the engine was dropped missing several bolts, the engine mounts were broke on the front, the back 2 injectors were frooze had new injectors in those in which i stated that there was carbon build up on # 1&3 piston and valves the only fin that was broke off in a 4 " peice was on # 4 the 1st fin top right, there was a lot of reasons to pull this engine the seals were not origanal, the car did sat for 5 yrs not running got it running not right, if i am going to restore this car want to do it right, fully read the haynes manual and this engine will be put back togeather right as it should be. too many things were rigged on this, car, was a usedcar not mine origanally and I want it to be running right. I have already spent over $2000.00 on parts and still not running right new hoses new plugs points wires, ecu, vac advance on distributor that was not there and was sordered in place to run when i got it now has been fixed right the fule pump is hot wired to run to start the engine why I dont know when the wires are there, will ck the relays under the passenger seat when it's back togeather, it needed all new gaskets so i did what I had to do drop it and replace what needs to be replaced.
