Geez...that's nuts! Glad it was a simple fix...I'm sure your heart was in your shorts for a few hours though...

Yes. I consider myself lucky. Hard to know what would have happened if an acorn had made its way into a valve port. As best as we could, we used the camera to view into each of the ports, and also into the intercooler cavities (on the cold side) to check for any additional acorns - it all came out clear.
Yeah, that's kinda an understatement.
@Muggy, BTW - selling the donor? What, with permission from the wife to get more working space - essentially, all lights green - and you go and get rid of the parts bin !!??
That's very good advice - and something that I should do regardless. I can tell you that after clearing the acorns on Sunday, I have put close to 300miles on the car (including a round trip to Sacramento resulting in the purchase of another project car - a Porsche 928 - oops) and all feels fine.
