you have to pull the head first... then drop oil pan and then go for the rod caps, lastly pull the crank and push pistons out the bottom..

To install u need to buy a ring compressor (napa for 10 bucks) and oil up the cylinder walls and tap in pistons one at a time. Make sure u install them with the arrow on the piston facing forward. Don't mix up the rods. Keep them with the same cylinder same direction and same caps... I would highly recommend new rod bolts. Use assembly lube on crank and rod bearing journals. Torque to spec and reinstall everything! I suggest u also get atleast a hone job done or even bored if ur engine has a lot of miles.

No you cannot. You have to remove pistons from the bottom and install in the top. You tube it there are plenty of videos on how to install pistons.

here is an e-how link. Obviously not the same engine but pistons install the same.

I think u would be better off just pulling the motor

Travis89Turbo · 05-06-2011, 05:07 PM

Defiantly pull the motor. You cant get flywheel off and all kinds of problems u would run into. I was assuming you were planning on pulling the motor cuz u never stated u were gonna try to do it in ur car!
