Haha, yes, I've snapped a few taps off in my shop years and it's almost always more time consuming removing them then taking more time to start with!
If this engine responds well to the mod then I will pull the engine out of the 149 and do it too. I want to change the valve guides and re-ring it anyway, so not much more work to pull the crank. I'm of the impression that it shook or vibrated more after the rebuild a few years ago.
