The bore/taper issue is serious.And the equipment and techniques to measure it accurately are beyond what most engine builders would use. Rebuilding an M96 to Miata or Jaguar standards may produce a working engine but won't be optimal. I found it to be quite a 'learning experience'!
Your final problem will be how to reconnect all the vacuum lines ! Yes there are diagrams but it ain't quite that simple. And that just about summarizes everything to do with the M96. It requires much higher standard of skill, tool, equipment and knowledge than I expected. |
Thanks! I've read through several builds, but never came across this one...
I'm trying to take my time with this engine and buy the necessary tools if I have to. I'm also fortunate enough to be able to borrow some precision instruments from work.
The numbers are not idea, but that what I have to work with. I plan to replace the valve guides, but I probably won't do anything about the cylinders.
