I did a full rebuild on my 3.2 M96 about 10 years ago. Then, there was almost no Forum advice. BY was a great help, so was Jake. I had no idea what I was getting in to. I had rebuilt many engines for old British cars but the M96 was a whole new level of precision ,skill and complexity. I did all the work myself except machining. I spent over $15k (10 years ago !) on parts and special tools and I was frugal. It was a ridiculous project in terms of time and cost but very interesting and humbling.The engine stills runs well but for the cost involved there were many wiser choices.
