McGeary1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Just a quick one, can you take the pistons out of the bottom end? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) no buddy you would need to remove sump and pickup on the bottom and the head removed at the top. pistons need to come out from the top Edited August 20, 2014 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McGeary1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ah that's a shame, bottom end went and the re grinder wants the con rods for measurements, I thought I could just drop them out the bottom to save buying a head gasket.

russ78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 always best to change headgasket if your rebuilding engine anyway for peace of mind, Imo..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 theres no easy way of building an engine if you want it to last do everything properly...... to be honest if your removing pistons probably a good idea to re-hone cylinder walls replace rings etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McGeary1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Got new oil pump, water pump, main bearing kit, filter, oil, sump glue etc etc just thought I could do a cheepish way. Might as well forge it while I'm there lol (no chance) thanks for your help buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
