The big rig engines are. I used to be a diesel tech, it was so cool how you could essentially rebuilt them in a day. Pull the head, drop the pan and pull the rod caps, drive out the pistons from below, pull the sleeves and insert new ones, drop in new pistons and rods, slap it all back together and you're done!
