Need some help from you guys., replacing all new gaskets on 1.7 Options

[Hammer920]

(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.

The OD stopped at 63366.9, thanks for the info on the video, the engine looks like it has been gone through once already so not for sure it is orignal miles the bolts on the flywheel were not 12 point they were 17mm hex head grounded off on the top of the hex head, also if you will look at the oil tubes you will see all the red sicicon on them and you will also see the silicone in the block or on the block where they were pulled off, the seals were not orignal seals. I would like to keep this a 1.7 liter stock will have the heads manafluxed for cracks this porsche will stay a d-jet I do not want carbs, it was so dirty with the sand and oil grime I understand and see why it would warm up then after driving it die at all stops no air circulation in the oil cooler the south plains of Texas has bad sand storms, the engine had no thermostat or bracket, I thought the flaps were stuck I found out different. the engine will at all cost, try to stay 1.7 cannot find 1.7 cylinders or pistons all I have found is 2.0. If the cylinders which they look to be not scored or pitted will order new rings and polish the cylinders will not know till Sunday if it has been bored w/ new pistons. I've had TOO MANY BEERS TONIGHT ANY ONE WANT ONE... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
