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.
Leading evidence: 'Repair vids' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair vids' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

My favorite YT channel finally got an M96 to tear down and while he gets some stuff a little wrong, it's a good look into the inside of an M96.

Agree 100%, something cathartic about it and the dude is funny. Was bummed he didn't take the bottom end apart but his reasoning seems pretty sound. Someone just needs to send him one thats smoked.
I crave the carnage.
When he found that the intake cam was no longer turning with the crank, he assumed that was the whole of the problem and concluded that the short block is in good heath, and stopped. Seems reasonable enough.
In the vid while tearing it down, he grabbed the #6 rod iirr, and moved it up and down & side to side with the crank totally stationary and said "yup, thats the rod knock". so that must of been 1 of the complaints/problems..?
Then after taking off the oil filter canister and finding no filter, he later said owner (maybe owners tech imo) found the filter full of metal and condemned the engine. And rightly so, with this tear down proving it. He also said he'd been driving the car for 2 week before he torn it down....
Moral of the story, when you have a 'little knock' here and there, and filter comes out full of metallic debris, this is what your crank might look like. Probably If you keep driving the car, imo, you'll sooner than later throw a rod.
Really only 1 thing that usually does this on m96, PT3 explained that in above post....
