UPDATE
Just dropped the cylinder head off at Autosport Seattle
They are gonna spruce her up.
Really nice fellas and WOW, what an amazing display of gorgeous old cars they are working on.
SLURP!

good move, Joey...hope that it is OK, and not too much work has to be done to it.

Thanks for the recommendation Tiger.
The guys there gave me a good impression.
Even if there is a lot of work it's okay.
I'll be glad it will be right.

UPDATE:
While the head is at the machine shop waiting for sleeves and the final touches... I have been busy
- CV Joints re-installed and good to go
- Fuel filter replaced. The injectors arrived rebuilt and beautiful. Their performance report looked good and recommended I replace my fuel filter. Done
- While removing check valve from the brake booster it fell apart and a piece fell in to the booster. The little diver was extracted with a $29 endoscope
- Throttle body removed, cleaned, and ready to be re-installed with a new gasket
- Front seals replaced (crankshaft and balance shaft seals). Rear timing belt cover and sprockets re-installed, as well as a tensioner and a roller

When the head and the camshaft is re-installed and can put some belts and the other sprockets/roller/tensioner on.
Until then I think I might drill out those spot welds on the nose and properly install a beautiful new badge with gasket.
Also, I will tuck my upgraded headlight wiring in the nose and switch the headlight power feed from the battery to the alternator.

It finally feels like I'm putting this car back together!

Tiger, thanks for expanding my ever lacking vocabulary today:
Going Jesse
Gorgeous, I love it.

I was thinking I might want to clean all of that crap from my intake manifold.
This looks like a winner: Thanks to YouTube user: BMAC VAGS
I'm so stoked I can clean the insides.

UPDATE
- Drilled out the spot welds on the nose. Now I can re-route my headlight wire harness and replace that glued on badge

Joey, was your old waterpump the original part? I see "21983A" stamped on it.

joeystanker

Nope, it was the upgraded water pump with the belt guide on it.

I bought the replacement new on EBay:
Porsche Engine Cooling Water Pump Premium 94402122

These are the mounting posts for the guide

UPDATE
- Booster check valve replaced
- Intake manifold and camshaft housing cleaned and turned over to powder coating
- Camshaft sprocket housing and heater coolant rail being polished to a shine
- Badge replaced, now with no glue and a gasket
- Nose spot welds now replaced with sheet metal screws and trimmed washers
- Headlight upgrade wiring now powered by alternator instead of the battery
- Positive battery cabling cleaned up a bit
- Added shielding and cleaned up oil pressure sender wiring. A post on the sender snapped. I didn't think I was tightening that much. A new sender is on the way
