I am not suggesting dropping the engine only for an AOS job !
Having recently done an engine and trans rebuild I am well aware of the issue and have posted a lot about engine +/- trans drop methods.
The point is that once there is a list of deferred maintenance/repair items, the cumulative access problems are such that dropping the engine may be a preferable option.It depends what is on your list.
Some of the seemingly simplest jobs are awful with the engine in place - for example - R&R #4 injector. or remove the airbox to fit a CAI ,paddles etc......
Belive me, I wouldn't wish an engine R&R job on anyone - without merit.
