Did a good job on those soft flexible hoses.

Pretty standard: Valve guides. Then I figured, "In for a penny...."

75k miles is not standard for a 3.2 carrera motor IMO....

"Standard" was a reference to the valve guides. I OPTED for the top end. Thanks for your input.

My '86 3.2 had a top end overhaul for guides at 45K but fortunately...

that was the only year Porsche had a 4/50 warranty and the heads were all pulled at no charge. Took the opportunity to pull the jugs, replace with 3.4 p&c's, Elgin cams, and complete Raceware top and bottom studs. Tech covered the extra labor for me on the side for $250 cash. Was a nice deal at the time!
