Has anyone here replaced the heat exchanger core on an older Perkins? I'll be doing it in the next few days and am planning the logistics. Question is whether I am likely to be successful on the boat or if I am going to need workbench, a press, and other shop tools. The Perkins people say the tube bundle will come right out but looking in at a 43 year old component, I'm skeptical.
