The M96 engine has the weaker IMS bearing which is more prone to failure (hence covered by the lawsuit) BUT this bearing has the advantage of being upgradeable without disassembling the engine. You do need to remove the transaxle, clutch and flywheel and to be careful with the timing chain and cams so it's fairly pricey ($1,500-2,500, of which $650 is the improved IMS bearing from LN Engineering and the rest is labor) but it can be done.
The M97 engine has an improved and stronger IMS bearing which is less prone to failure but cannot be upgraded without disassembling the engine ($$$). The problem is that the bearing is too large to fit out the hole by the flywheel so you need to separate the engine case.
Good luck with the sale!
