I would do just what you planned. It sounds like the one piston repair will last him a lot of years and you can have it done and back home quick. He doesn't need to see it gone and hear about that right when he gets home. Take pictures as you do it. When Steve is much better share the pictures with him.

I do that kind of stuff all the time for people who appreciate it or would help me out.
If he isn't able to pay you the good Lord will pay you in the end. This whole debacle is showing those around you the person you are.
