If it is this repair that was carried out then, as far as I know it is done with the engine in place normally, no need to remove it. It may have made the repair easier but it isn't essential.
Although it was repaired FOC there was no "global recall" for this chassis crack, the only recall has been for the brake pedal failure inspection and Morgan said that this crack area would be inspected at the same time. If your earlier than 2014 spec car had a later pedal box fitted and you decided not to bother with the brake pedal inspection, as it obviously wasn't applicable, this crack inspection would be missed. In my opinion DVSA should have insisted on two recalls, not one with an agreement to do the extra inspection at the same time. It would be interesting to find out how many of the 1027 vehicles that should have been inspected for both issues were.
A reasonable question planenut
