The book is titled "The M96 Definitive Guide"

Distribution will first go to those who distribute our components in the Porsche industry. These people, and companies deserve to have the first copies as they have believed in us enough to stock tens of thousands of our products and they also sell service manuals and guides.

These are the same companies that Pelican and others buy from, so this will get the book further into the Porsche world and enthusiasts hands right away.

This book isn't about money, its about sharing what I've learned and those who work with us being able to take advantage of that and the relationships we have built. Because of this, I do not want the book to be available on Amazon or for direct downloads/ Kindle or etc for the first 18-24 months after release in print. I already have ISBNs in hand.

The good news is the IMS bearing didn't fail, the IMS might have been in 3 pieces, but the bearing was good as new.

Don't worry, I have pulled all the failure commentary from my book in its entirety. Its all unicorns and rainbows now, just like what everyone wants these days...











Yes, its missing 1/2 of the crankshaft carrier

If scaring the hell out of me is pointing out the common failure modes in my engine and how to improve/avoid them, keep scaring me!

Several times I have tabled the book just because its been so difficult to write without being able to cover failures.
