I rebuilt a 911 3.0 a bunch of years ago, to include hand lapping the valves... no small task that build. Given what I’ve seen of the 3.2 M-96 rebuilding it is a whole other animal. At least get the proper tools to give yourself a more fighting chance! Jake Rabi offers a course in rebuilding the M96, might be worth a look.

I'm not planning a whole rebuild, with spliting the case and dealing with rods, bearings crank, pistons, etc. I'm just taking off the heads, sending them out, then reinstalling them. It's a pretty straight forward R&R as far as I can tell, the tricky part is maintaining the timing chain position to keep the engine valvetrain in time, or putting it back in time if they slip. That's going to be the biggest task as best I can tell.
