Yeah, best to be careful. Easy to dive into a project like this and make it worse.
Friend had problems with a knee (ACL?) and was working with a surgeon, who was doing multiple tests. Friend couldn't understand all the testing - just get in there and fit the d... thing! Surgeon explained: Before I go in there, I want to feel confident I can make it better, not worse.
Repairs with the engine in the boat are to get you through the season - maybe. Pulling the engine and doing things right are for the next 20 years.
