And in a densely populated market where the service locations are limited, investment in tooling may make sense. But come into the US with its widely dispersed population, low frequency of M96 engined cars and many mechanics competing on price for the same job and you have a reluctance to invest beyond a certain amount.

I read all the time of people trying to do the IMS with home built tools. Or buying a kit on the basis of price.

Maybe for an engine rebuilder but how many engines does even the top tier engine rebuilder have to do a year to amortize the cost of complex tools such as you envision? Most are employing mechanics who bring their own tools!
