Piston Install

Ok everyone knows thats the weak point in this motor, so heres my problem, I cant afford any downtime, I dont know how to do it, I don't trust any local shops around here with a domestic. I don't have the cash to get another motor and build it seperately.

So who on the eastern half of the US can do this in a reasonable amount of time. I'm concerned with durability I dont want something like a ring going bad a month later. Theres 20k on the motor not sure how that factors into things.

How involved is this, is it just getting a lift dropping the pan and removing the crank and walla?

You have to pull the whole top end apart..intake, head, exhaust mani. Then pull the pan off and unbolt the rods from the crank and they go in and out of the top of the block. Bump for some help

You have to pull the head pan f engine cover.The engine is pretty much all appart. The total seal rings are file fit and I had to have the rods small end bore resized to fit the diamond piston pin.The pistons only break when you have detonation. Other than that I wouldn't worry about them.
