View the latest post 8.1 Crusader Valve job or worse


Hello,
I have a 2001 Carver 396 with Crusader 8.1's that were installed new in 2008.(there is 510 hours on them)
The port engine has no compression in cylinder #7. I guess at the very least it needs a valve job.
I have done valve jobs on 2 different boats with carbureted Marine Power454 engines during my 50 years of boating experience so I know what's involved with the engine repair. I was able to do these jobs while the boat was at the dock which made thing a little easier. However, Now, I cannot physically do this type of work any longer and need to get it done..
Does anyone know if there is enough room a the Carver to get the heads off without removing the engines from the boat?
When I start my search for a boatyard I would like to have a little more knowledge behind me.
Thanks
