I did this and put a writeup on the website before it got rebuilt.
Don't know if it's still there. Bottom line is that while I could
easily remove the cover, I still couldn't actually remove the impeller
without unmounting the water pump to turn it around. It still saves
time, and I only have to deal with four large thumb screws rather than
six (?) little screws easily dropped or stripped. Same engine as you,
BTW. I guess I'm glad I did it, but it would be a much bigger deal if
the water pump were not mounted "backwards."
