    Would take a bit of effort as it would need space clearing to get the engine hoist in to lift the head, ram, collar, bed and knee off.

    Could be useful as it would allow me to check for worn out bits, split lube pipes etc.. Would also make the build and wiring a cleaner job by getting rid of the grime and muck.

    Hmm....

    Yes and get the knee saddle and table reground and turcited. Speak to slideway services, they quoted me by far the best price
