Brad's contribution to the discussion is useful to someone like me ,doing an M96 rebuild for the first time. There is no single definitive source of info to take you through the rebuild process other than the Porsche Workshop manual. That is littered with very expensive special tools and it seems foolish to ignore these instructions as an M96 noob .
"We've built a LOT of engines.. (with zero cam timing issues) and NEVER used the factory tools" What ,not even a cam position holding tool?Impressive.
I just wish Jake Raby would publish his book ! "The M96 Definitive Guide ".
That would be invaluable.
