The most 'serious' engine work I've done was dealing with a head stud issue. I put the engine on a yoke, disassembled one side of the engine, fixed the problem and reassembled. It's fiddly business and you need to measure at every stage, but it is something you can absolutely do in your garage.
I had always heard that the 3.0 head stud breakage was due to excessive heat cycling (many short trips). But now, 30+ years out, corrosion gets at least some of the blame.
