Default The Knowledge Gruppe Engine Rebuild Class

The next Knowledge Gruppe Engine Rebuild online class (101) is just over 1 week away.
http://www.theknowledgegruppe.com/in...1-online-copy/
If you are thinking about someday rebuilding your M96, and want to make sure you do it correctly, you will want to take the Knowledge Gruppe Hands-on class(102) in late February.
The online class (January 10th) is a prerequisite.
If you miss these classes you might have to wait a full year before having another chance.
They don't offer classes very often, and now with all the extra classes(air-cooled, M96 Turbo, 9A1, Cayenne, Diagnostics) they've added, the M96 rebuild courses might not happen very often.

I'm signed up for the online class, but I'm doubtful that I'll be able to scrounge up enough cash to take the hands-on class.
I had hoped the hands-on class would happen later in 2019.
I'm still trying to find a way to afford it.

"See" y'all in class!

Good luck. Hope it works out. I signed up for the hands on M96 performance class and the online prereq last year but they cancelled due to low enrollment. Such a bummer. Luckily I was able to get my airfare refunded. Unfortunately, I don't have the cash to do it now as it has since gone to other things.

This is high on my priority list, but definitely won’t happen this year.

Thanks for posting this, and the hands on class is only a few weeks away as well. We will be posting some flyers tomorrow for these classes.

I had hoped to take the online class this year but an unexpected move last month has tapped me financially too. Hopefully there'll be another later in the year?

Darn!
No, there's only one online, and one hands- on M96 class scheduled for the 2019 curriculum.

2019 may be the last year for the hands- on classes for the M96. Online will continue.

I guess I'll have to step up my effort to come up with payment.
I may have to find a close campground or overpass.

The Hands on Class has struggled to be filled the last 3 classes we’ve had. Its the oldest class that we have, and has been around for 11 years now.. We’ve always seemed to fill the class to capacity, but it just takes more effort now.

The newer classes for 9a1 and even the aircooled engines continue to grow.

I do not see a hands on class being held in 2020, and we are even warning attendees of the 2019 class not to buy airfare until Feb 1, as we may not be able to get the minimum for this class

Maybe, but nothing is the same as doing the work with Tony and l putting your hands on the tools.

l have decided to publish my M96 assembly book. 7 years after l started it.

That’s what I was looking forward to.
Learning the tricks to the tools I own, and seeing first hand the Faultless tools.
I was going to ask if I could bring my own tools to use so I’d know how they work best.
Although Im sure that using both would convince me to buy the Faultless ones.

Looking forward to the assembly book!
