Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
Also, will the 996 book cover this IMS bearing issue, as in will it talk to replacing the original bearing with the LN afttermarket?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking at 996s,... I thought it would be a plus to pickup the Bentley Manual to aquaint myself....I guess they will be releasing one soon.

Hello there! I'm the sales & marketing manager for Bentley and yes, the manual is finally almost here! I'm expecting to see our first sample copies from the printers within the next few days. In the meantime, if anyone has any questions about the book, post them here & I can try and answer them the best I can.
Yes, the 996.1 and 996.2 are covered in the manual, along with the C4S. What the manual doesn't have (and would editorially warrant its own book) is GT3 coverage.
I'll likely rework the models covered section of the web page for the book to better clarify this.
Not at this time, although iPad and other e-book versions of our manuals is definitely something that we're looking at for the future (along with just about every other book publisher in the world I suppose!)
So far, it's on schedule for Monday, October 1. I'll know more when I see our printer's samples next week. I may even be able to post a photo or two of the book.
I have the Bentley manula for the Jag XKE....loose leaf removeable pages etc in a strong binder. Will the 996 book be available in the same format?
Also, will the 996 book cover this IMS bearing issue, as in will it talk to replacing the original bearing with the LN afttermarket?
I am anxious to see how it compares to the Porsche shop manuals that I have. They are on PDF and are searchable, cross reference parts numbers, etc., and were a lot less than $219. But if the Bentleys have additional information they might be worth the price.
OK, the book is on its way to the warehouse! Here's the photo I took of my copy here in the office:
No, it's a hardcover (and a heavy one at that - just under 8 lbs!)
We don't specifically go into aftermarket discussions, however we do cover the IMS bearing issue. In fact, we have a video on the procedure that we filmed over at Callas Rennsport during the editorial process. Check it out here:
