Now that is how Porsche meant them to be built. I would kill for a build like that after all the oil stained cardboard I have thrown away over the last few years. I will let you know how successful things went sometime late spring.

I hear ya, just wanted to raise the red flag. There are, unfortunately, many different interpretations of 'done right', that's why we're all cautioning you - but it sounds like you are on the right track. Example - my 'rebuilt' engine came with plenty of documentation. Unfortunately, the so-called valve job consisted of replacing the stem seals and re-grinding the seats.
Good luck and keep us posted!
