Don't be intimidated! Reduced engine access is truly a non-issue. As stated, you can remove the entire top/frame in about a half an hour if you needed extended access to the top of the motor. Although it may take you a little longer the first time you do it, it really is (on my car) 3 bolts and two small phillips head screws on each side. You get a buddy and lift the assembly up and off the car.
I access the top of my motor once a year to clean MAF, air filter and throttle body. All can be done by using the previously mentioned strap to hold the back of the top in place while performing the work.
PS.
I'd go broke taking my car to a professional mechanic for every little thing but I do appreciate their knowledge and ability being way beyond mine.
I'd also go broke if I tried to make a living being a professional mechanic....I'm not very good!
