I am sure the M96 engines have been sitting around for years. The IMSB seals after sitting in break in oil for the last decade have turned hard and shrunk back and ripe for a failure.

I thought they kept in them in big industrial sized jars.

Looks like someone learned a lot in my WTI M96 Engine Mechanical Class.

Impressive.

Your class was fantastic, I was able to extrapolate the IMSB’s tribological dynamics and you can see what the engineers did to try and resolve the bearing failure issue in an economical way.
I will be taking more classes from you.

Excellent.
I'll be offering the hands on class as soon as I finish this damn M96 engine book :-)
My entire focus is on it until then.
