The REALLY ****ty part is one of the head studs broke off when he took the valve cover off. So... now I am looking at a nice little $10k+ fix on that.
That's the real gut punch of owning an SC, 3.2 Carrera or a 964. It was probably broken before you bought the car unless you had a PPI done and accounted for all the head studs.
