It is “tricky” because a number of design issues unique to the marquee, such as a split alloy case block which is difficult to nearly impossible to repair if you spin a main bearing, because of the significant number of special tools and fixtures needed for the M96, because of the dearth of technical information about the assembly, and extremely limited number of aftermarket internal part suppliers. These are the same reasons why the dealerships do not allow their techs to get too deep into these engines………..they are not for the faint of heart, pocketbook or time…………..
