I will proceed cautiously with my dis-assembly in order to determine if any of these basicaly new parts need replacement. I will hold my parts order until I determine the extent of repairs as I understand the magnesium case is prone to studs pulling out requiring more extensive repair.

In that case, you're probably fine with the ramps and return tubes unless one breaks on disassembly.
Have you been able to get the offending stud out of the engine? You should be able to see if it pulled or broke at that point. If it pulled, your costs are obviously going to go up significantly. Line bores are pretty much standard on a 2.7 when you open the case.
