[QUOTE=Shane]What kind of oil are you using?
Not the end of the world, but it is an engine removal job to pull the heads, since the '85-'86 use studs instead of bolts.[/QUOTE
I pulled my heads with the engine in th ecar ('85 32V).

This might make you feel better. The Ferrari 355 my father is looking at has an issue wearing out valve guides prematurely. A valve guide job on these start at $7,000. So be happy you don't have a 355 Ferrari

Compared to the 355, the 928 will cost little, but at $3000+ (inluding labour) it is a significant amount.
