I meant faster more pics, not faster rebuild faster. Faster anything means more mistakes which you don't want to do with $5800. 
I might be shortly behind you next year some time... my 996's piston rings in bank 1 (yes all three cylinders) could be shot... or perhaps just a fuel delivery imbalance... more investigation soon with leak down and compression tests and Durametric sleuthing.
Too bad it wasn't the valve guides (5 of which were completely gone) when I recently did that work and had the engine down to the short block.

When I did my top end last month I sent the injectors off and had them tested, cleaned - new filters and o-rings. All were in acceptable margins, aside from one which had a leak at the nozzle - and they all came out "near new" after the cleaning procedure.
There is a note in the WSM about the newer "light green" colored injectors with improved spray pattern for engines >/= MY 2000 (Y s/n). According to the WSM it is permissible for <2000 year engines to have a mixed configuration.

I'd hazard a guess that you have a blockage. Test the pressure before the injectors on each side.

I am leaning more towards worn rings or oval cylinder(s) at this point. Strange thing is, it seems like it is the entire bank 1, and it happened somewhat suddenly... 15-20k miles ago (50k) there was not a hint of a problem...
Leak down/compression tests coming soon. (but in my own thread)
Anyways, I don't want to hijack this guys great thread, so bring on the pics!!!
