Please post pictures of what you find, myself as well as many others will be interested in what your follow up finds.
Good luck with it, you may get by with minor damage.

Oh, great! Feel free to stop by if you wanna look into the engine in person before you pull it apart. Mine is still in bits and bolts...

Thanks! I have had the good fortune of being able to attend Jake Raby’s engine assembly class in Georgia. We started off by disassembling two engines and determing the cause of failure. We then assembled a complete engine, from the ground up over the next couple of days. Very cool class.

$$$$ - LOL

He has a pre-requisite class that you have to attend, that is online. Really informative, and covers the basics of the M96 engine, and causes of failure. It lasts 4 hours.

If you search "The Knowledge Gruppe", you will see the classes that are offered.

Quite honestly, it was really a week long "Man Camp". The facilities are top notch, as is the food and the entertainment is never ending. They really want you to have a great time there, and go to great lengths to teach and show that good old southern hospitality.
