What'd you say killed your original m96 motor?

IDK about killing your crank... Honestly if I was developing a car and the crankshaft was so fragile that it requires a special flywheel I wouldn't use that crankshaft. IMPO the M96 is a TERRIBLE engine, but thats just me


Don't know and kinda don't care about the original engine from my car; I don't hold the M96 engine in high regards LOL
I was told by the PO it was IMS failure, but the guy I bought the car from ate meth for breakfast like every day for 10 years. He saw the cash in my hand and got a big woody for that next crack rock. LOL


All my trash talking aside; my wife had an M96 powered boxster for a couple of years. No IMS, D chunking cylinders, no cracked cylinder walls, or cracked heads so IDK.
