It going to require tearing down all four engines,

Are you really worried about a catastrophic failure when you've got
3 other engines?

On a 747 flight to Europe, the pilot came on the PA and said "Folks, we've
lost an engine, but we have three other engines, so it will merely take
another hour to reach our destination.". Later he comes on again and says,
"Folks we've lost another engine, so it'll take two more hours." Still later
he comes on and says "Folks, we've lost another engine, so now it'll take
four more hours." A little old lady in back of the plane spouts out "Boy, if
we lost another engine were going to be up here ALL DAY!"
