Change of oil and found metallic spring etc inside - need your advise.

Yes I will take a video (during daylight) when I am removing the push rods and doing a lifter adjustment check to see if they are over tightened.

I start to understand the mechanics of the car - ( watching 10hrs / day videos and reading books) - felling confident and for sure I will do my very best to find the cause of the damage...

Yes I know it is difficult to put it back on. Of course I do not know how exactly but we will figure that one also when time comes. I really had to remove it - there was not enough space to pull the intake out.

Thank you all guys for your great help,
Andronikos

How can I check what cylinder heads I have?

Engine builder should have that info, also,I would ask if there were any modifications to the heads from new....There should also be name/numbers between the rocker studs and the name on the outside ends of each cylinder head, that may be hard to see with the accesories though...
I can understand you wanting to do the work yourself,it's rewarding to say you did it and the only way to learn, but I would suggest at least have an expirenced mechanic help you check things out and be there for the re-assembly....not doing something correctly becasue you just didn't know how to do it could be costly....been there,done that......

Putting the distributor back in is not hard,just have to follow certain procedures to get it right........

take the two rockers arms that had broken studs, then them over and look for marks where they could have hit the valve spring retainer...wipe them clean and look good or post pictures......

Thanx David,

Yes I am not trying to feed my "ego" at this point. The reason I am asking (as you probably understood) is to fell confident with the basic engine theory and of course to learn my engine and with the help of the mechanic to properly fix it (when time comes).

I guess my mechanic will have many eyes watching him from the other side of the ocean since I will post a lot videos to make sure we did everything right. :-)

Best - Andronikos,
