out of curiosity, with all the maintenance you've done, would it of made sense to have dropped the motor and work from it there?

Hey there, interesting thought and question! I asked Aiden to chime in when he can, but here are my thoughts. For one, we didn't have the necessary equipment to remove the engine. At the same time, we didn't find the presence of the motor to be a hindrance to the maintenances performed. So if we weigh the pros and cons of dropping the motor, I don't think dropping it would've given us a significant edge.
