Other than that, nothing seemed terribly out-of-whack. Heads came right off with a gentle mallet tap:
The heads on these engines are ambidextrous, IOW it does not matter which one goes back on which side. They are identical. None-the-less, I labeled them in case there turns out to be any info gleaned from them regarding a particular cylinder.
And of course I labeled the P/Cs. They are very likely going right back on.
The pistons look new-ish and like JEs or some other after-market brand. I did not see any markings on the jugs indicating who made them. If they were Mahles or KS, they would have prominent markings. They have very interesting oil-control rings very low on them:
The jugs look fine as far as visible wear/ridges. I did not see any. Will get a much better look tomorrow. Sorry if these pics seem tedious or like over-kill, this thread is going to be part of the permanent record of the service being done to this beautiful, matching numbers car. The photos, my write-up and the receipts. Just like I did with my 911SC rebuild.
Stay tuned, "more will be revealed"...
