2 of the heads were unusable.. 3 were perhaps OK to reuse and 1 was near perfect.

Hi Mike, nice video of slides. Is this your vehicle or someone else's you did? My ,90 is in a bad condition of leaking also.(maybe not as much as yours) The motor runs well (no smoke) but just to much oil on the floor. I was wondering why you didn't go for the 3.8 since all the work you did? I'm either going to sell mine the way it is. Probably regret it. But if I can't get the money I need I'll keep her. Already had her for 12 years. I've got quotes on a 3.8 conversion 320 horsepower for $23,000 us from a reputable guy on the East Coast here in the US. I can do next year. He can also do a 993 Vairo Ram for around $38,000. Way out of my price range. Anyway your rebuild sounds really nice running. Have fun,
Dj
