Pinning the coolant lines

Pinning the coolant lines
I was at Indy this past weekend for a HPDE & one of the coolant lines let loose. According to the gauge, the temperature never got above 200 degrees so I'm hopeful there wasn't any damage. My intent was to get the coolant lines pinned/welded later this season but will happen sooner now. Since the motor has to come out of the car, any thoughts/ideas what should or must be done in addition as far as updates. I was contemplating going with larger injectors, fuel filter, hoses, etc.
Since I'm sure that a lot of 996 owners have now addressed this issue with the coolant lines, I am curious what you have done.

Having mine welded ( 2 let go previously at different times which I simply re glued with engine in car), new water pump, coolant tank, coils, plugs, serpentine belt and idler pulley, motor mounts and having a trans (tip) leak fixed at the same time. Not really updates, just maintenance for the cost of parts only as there is almost no additional labor involved.

There's at least three threads here about this, lots and lots of helpful hints in them. Blowing those fittings is my worst nightmare and I hope it doesn't happen before I'm ready!

What's involved in doing this ?

I only did this to the affected fitting because it was accessible; it is working fine so far no issues. I have everything for pinning, just haven't pulled the trigger on engine drop.
