The next M96 Complete Engine Class through WTI is in Gaithersburg Maryland, after that we are on to Canada for a couple of classes.
We teach Technician level classes for Worldpac through the WTI program as a two day over view of the M96 engine. Once per year I have my four day M96 Engine Rebuild School here at Flat 6 where we tear down and then completely reconstruct an M96 engine hands on. The engine is the real deal and used as part of our R&D program, it isn't some dummy engine that will never run.
Details of both classes are here
Engine Rebuild School The December class is already at more than 1/2 capacity and is still months away.
As far as the Tech's name I'll never release it and I don't know where he is from, all I do know if he traveled to Boston for the class and was pretty proud to have been carrying out the wrong procedure over and over again. He was a really nice guy, but didn't like to be told he was wrong. I started to ask him if he'd rather be the instructor.
