Yours is almost certainly a single row IMSB - the worst ! Like mine . I would say wait until you need a clutch but ..... !
Garage Queens also seem particularly vulnerable.
Read "Baz" (Hartech) and try not to get too paranoid.
Get the Pelican book and perhaps the Bentley manual.
Pick your sources of advice carefully. For reasons I do not understand many seem to want to give advice contrary to what the experienced M96 sources say. Odd and potentially very expensive !
A telling competency test is to ask what is the best specification of engine oil to use for this unusual engine. No, it isn't Duckhams 20-50 (sorry inside joke for UK. only)
