I remembered that it wasn't you that fried the original motor, that's why I teased about it.

I don't think guys are talking about it much any more but a few years ago when far more racers were involved in the forum, there were a lot of debates about the single mass lightweight flywheel and sprung clutch disk. The harmonic balancing is just another weird thing about these motors. I'm with you, I feel more like the m96 was the result of cutting as many corners as possible. Or maybe they were just over confident in their engine design capabilities. Who knows.

Still interesting though your observations about the a4 clutch. Please share of you every stumble across that part number for comparison.
