Although im a big m96 doomsdayer, i think your mechanic is exaggerating. There are lotd of m96 cars on track and while thry have issues, thry hardly fail each day. As a track noob, you likely wont be pushing the car real hard but id still recommend running good oil, a 997 oil cooler, 3rd radiator, low temp thermostat, deep sump. And baffles. While overkill in the beginning, it will quickly become useful .
Finally, be prepared that even with the best prep and mods the motor may fail. Plan accordingly
