The studs on the lower case that the heads slide onto are 2.5 inches
long. There is just about 2.5 inches from the top of the head to the
frame, in the rear. I think it would be very close and maybe possible in
the rear, but impossible on the front. Why not make it easy on yourself
though, pull the engine, it's not bad if you can get a friend to help,
two friends is better.
