For pedants, if we're getting strict, my engine code is B5244SG.
You can leave them together, but many would argue not replacing the 5 quid Rear engine seal when the engine is out, is a false economy.
I'd not thought of that, and I should have done. It'd be pretty dim to miss a tuppenny seal while we're on. We'll split them and do the seal, and bang it back together.

Easy enough to take out of the donor, the whole assembly will be cut out Do you know if it's easier to the whole shebang in, as lump?
We trace back to Wales in the early 18th century
In which case that's time enough to have heard every sheep-bothering joke there is.
