Not that different to our brake examiners and fitters who have to dig out body parts from under the traction motors or brake rigging of our rollingstock, sadly. It's one thing if you're a firey or paramedic, but you don't expect to be subjected to something like that in an overhaul shop.
Makes me wonder if they'd be better off simply scrapping the engine than put staff through such an experience, though the logical side of me says the core likely suffered little to no damage and the beancounter mindset would prevail.
