Engine Shutdown - did it blow at 45K miles?

Well, I finally put the engine back in and started up the car.  All is perfect.

 

Aside from installing the new AOS, I ended up having the injectors cleaned by a local fuel injection house (Kinsler).  It runs like new.  

Notes: I recycled the coolant and only lost about a pint so the cost for Porsche coolant was only 1 gallon.  I double strained the coolant prior to adding it back to the engine.  The Pentosin (power steering) was only 1 pint loss (did not recycle).  The only items purchased were the oil filter set, throttle body gasket, fuel injector o-rings.  I don't think I spent over 200 in parts.  

If I had to do it over again, I'm sure I could drop an engine with transmission in 8 hours and the same for the install.  Most of the time was spent making sure to be sure...

 

AOS seemed to be the culprit.
