Oh, I wasn't considering the cowl. It takes at least 1 hr of labor to
drop the cowl and put it back on in a Mooney. That's with a very
experienced A&P. It takes me more than an hour just to drop it.
Depending on the IA you can sometimes get away with leaving it on and
doing the muff inspection with a bunch of mirrors.
