Yes. And you shouldn't run with scissors or swim right after a meal either.
But actually old wives tales do come from somewhere, so I did purchase the kit from Clint (and some spare bushings for the rears just for my own paranoia of small vendors disappearing off the earth). But I'll be damned if I'm dropping the engine right now after this, or trying to weld them in with a partial drop. I have a great miller syncrowave 185SD TIG welder, but it (or better said, I) require some real clean metal and some elbow room to put down nice beads.
I'll drop it for something else soon enough and do them then.

On edit: Mark you sly dog.
