Unhappy 996 has gone bang - Advice sought please!!

Mike @ MD Racing was just putting the finishing touches to my 996 today (after i binned it at Snetterton) in time for Cadwell, went to start it and it cut out with a bang.

Transpires that the reason for my 'off' was that one of the bolts from the fuel tank lug at the front had worked loose, dropped into the airbox, and then found its way into the rear inlet. Resulting in at least one broken valve, another mangled one, and, if I'm lucky, the rest has escaped.

Anyhow, Mike has tried today to source a complete 2nd hand head + valves given that thats probably the most effective/cheapest way of getting back on the road. But he's had no luck and he's pretty much out of time.

So, bit of a plea - any thoughts on my chances of getting this back in time for Cadwell? Does anyone know anyone who might have what were after? Does anyone have the know-how to help me out?
