Look like Campagnolo wheels. Very Italian flavor.

Kris, hard to tell, I will dismount in the coming days, this weired, was on a track, full throttle, 4th gear, about 5500rpm, and boum...

I speculate the seat for my valve spring eventually wore out causing my valve spring to step off. It showed considerable wear on the edges, and there wasny much of a "cup" left to it. let us know what you find out!

The wheels on my car pictured above were made by the Swedish brand "JP" Unfortunately they are no longer in business.

I have never seen that happen in 50 plus years working on these! Was it a stock Porsche spring seat or aftermarket?

I changed the brake fluid, washed both sides of the wheels and bonus, I found out the my wheels are all date matching : ~)

I dont know, I imagine so. I dont think the engine had been apart if I recall. Basically the edges of the valve seat was burred and folder over evenly around the whole edge. I dont remember it being a smooth edge. Its hard to see in this pic, but it has a weird lip to it. I still have it I'll see if I can get a better pic later.
