Yes. That was what he told me. I was lucky.
He also said that if a seat comes loose it is almost always in bank 2 which runs hotter.
Thanks for the input, will roll the dice again and fix the head and reassemble. Still doubting if I should give a refresh to the other head now the engine is out.
I kept track on water temps and oil temps on a regular basis always stable around 82-90deg (water) and 90-105degC (oil) independent on ambient temps and load.
Have a GT3 water pump, relocated low temp thermostat, 3rd radiator and a relocated temp sensor for the radiator fans which kick in also earlier. In city traffic water temperature does not go high.
