Thank you all very much for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thanks, Mart, for posting that photo. My decision is pending as there's a strange "tinny" sound coming from the engine that comes and goes at idle. Great oil pressure and runs smooth. Can't figure out what it is.

Last time I removed the engine was in 1972 with a chain fall. I removed the hood myself, back then when I was 29 and back was fine. See photo of engine back then.
