I don't really understand this (in all sincerity and curiosity) why do you feel this way about sharing your knowledge?
Due to previous experiences that haven't been positive.. What we see most everyday defies conventional wisdom and in this world a lot of armchair mechanics (most of which have ZERO direct experience with the M96 engine) can really push our buttons and start keyboard combat.

It didn't use to be like this... People used to appreciate first hand accounts, but its just not that way anymore. I learned very quickly that what we could share would be limited with the M96 following, what makes it worse is giving info for free that can't be sourced anywhere else and still having to hear crap! So, looks like most everything we'll be sharing in the future will be for sale; if I am going to hear crap I at least want to get paid for it!

As far as the IMS failure and RPM, well from what we see the IMS bearing LOVES RPM, but thats another one of those things that doesn't make sense to those who haven't been exposed to the carnage.

Thats just the facts... The Engineers are the worst, followed closely by statisticians, neither of which generally own a toolbox.
