Hmm, I do not remember seeing any access possibility back when I replaced the exhaust manifold.. probably something you have to know what you are looking for to see it.

He is from Great Britain. They drive on the wrong side of the road, which can cause confusion.
During the War Between the States, they were having an awful time training new troops to march, because most of them were illiterate, and didn't know left from right. Solution: they stuck hay in one boot, and straw in the other. Cadence was called "hay foot, straw foot..." &c.

Correction. There are only three plates on the side of the engine facing the firewall that allow access to the piston oil squirters
