Jake, why would it affect the ignition timing, is the crank position sensor off the flywheel?

Thats the reason why you guys don't realize how these LWFW units impact the M96 in so many ways. The same goes for non OEM engine and tranny mounts. Couple these mounts with a LWFW and you have just created a huge compromise.

Anything else I'll say will be intense and strong willed and would be perceived as "pushing back too hard". I'll not say anymore.

FWIW the M96 isn't like most other cars or engines that many have owned or experienced. Treating this engine like it is something else is the first mistake that people make. Thats why they can't learn and make mistakes that they'd never expect. This is the reason why my engine classes are filled with 40 year Porsche veterans that have their asses kicked by these engines and lose their shirt on jobs all the time.

Jake, I appreciate you're frustrations, but there are people here who would like to learn. A brief explanation of LWFW-related timing and mount issues would be appreciated.
