Re: engine rebuild question

ya go to kragens they have a tool...it allows you to tighten up the rings on the piston to slide it right in the block and you be set to go...but if do take out old pistons must buy new rings no matter what....so this should solve your question

You should have a mackine shop do it they will heat up the old pistions to get the wrist pin out and dry ice the new one to get it back in. let them do it this is one part you dont want to fock up.

It is never good when you put a big hole in your block because you did something that saved you 50 bucks. DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME PRICELESS
