The introductory class is $399 and is an online class.

The actual rebuild class is $1999 and is done only at the Georgia USA facility. Live interactions and the run of the Raby facilities.

Too much for me, and I'd probably not rebuild a M96 engine. But something you might consider.
Before there was a Raby class -- a friend of mine and I learned on our own.

I rebuilt a Boxster S in 2007/2008 timeframe and it became my daily driver.
In fact that car had an original 3 bearing IMS installed by LN Engineering.

Some of the special tools my buddy built himself, others we purchased.

I don't know if there is anything specifically tricky if you have experience doing engine work -- with the exception of the insertion of the wrist pins for the second set of cylinders. This is performed blind, and by feel.
