I have a very vague fantasy about one day rebuilding a M96 myself with the specs and improvements I want..
Can it be done by a "normal" car-guy just taking it slow an paying attention to details?  |
Essentially it`s similar to any other engine, not rocket science. Of course, it`s more complicated than, say, an in-line four due to the flat arrangement, so you need more special tools for a rebuild and there is a number of steps that are not plausable. What is really annoying though is that there is no repair manual available, except for the used ones for over a $1000. But you can actually collect all the information needed from the web, it`s time consuming though.
