I have never had a body off, well once, but that was a rusted hulk, 
and I really don't remember it well. I didn't think there was any way 
to get inside the rockers from either end. There are several layers 
of metal there, and I thought only the inside of the heater channel 
was accessable. 

There is a small annular space around the rear end of the heater 
channel where it exits. Is that what you mean, or are there other 
openings that become apparent after you remove the pan?

I thought the only way to see inside was after things were well 
rusted away. Then you could see, sort of, what used to be there.
