What ? You didn't dismantle it to polish it down to the last nano particle? LOL
Thank you anyway. And particularly for the best M96 rebuild thread by far !
Haha, I did think about taking it apart to inspect it but then I think it's probably not needed.
We are discussing "The Solution" by Raby/LN. I respectfully suggest you reconsider your comment about the plug Duncan and I discussed.
"Factory IMS shafts are not plugged, which is why we have to supply a specially manufactured plug with the IMS Solution" ,So said Jake Raby

There is no plug at the bearing end once the bearing is removed it's open, the plug is at the other end which slots into the oil pump!
The plug is installed with the IMS Solution only. This is done to keep the IMS tube from filling with oil, thereby reducing available oil within the engine by 3/4 of 1 quart.
Watch the IMS Solution installation video at www.theimssolution.com to see how this is installed.
The head bolts are torque-to-yield and are $12 each (you need 24 bolts) so better not make any mistakes!
In Jake's class we used a Snapon digital angle gauge. Here I just used a long 1/2" ratchet and a simple Lisle angle gauge to save some $. Worked like a charm albeit more time to setup.
Tape at 70 degrees to aid reading
All the bolts are marked and sanity checked at the end after each round of angle torquing (total 2 rounds)
Set at 0 degree at the beginning with some torque applied to take up any slack (not shown)
