A military might well consider it acceptable to have to completely
disassemble an engine to do maintance on it, if it meant the fighter
would be faster. At high enough tech, you can feed the removed
component into a automated repair machine, that disassembles, tests,
and reassembles, replacing anything that happens to need it.
If going that route.... At a high enough tech, you can just spray on
the nanites and let them crawl around in the vehicle, repairing
whatever isn't in spec. Microscopic access space?
Yes, TL13 "living metal" structures don't need access space for that reason.
