piston wrong end HELP
so the other day I was taking out my crank and noticed I needed to get my rod resurfaced. As I'm reading on how/where to get it done I see my room mate remove the piston through the bottom of the engine. Now for those who don't know the crank webbing is in the way so there is no way to get it out. My problem now is, I can't compress the piston rings to get it through the cylinder. Does anyone have an idea on how I can fix this problem? Thanks guys

I'm with carstedt. Who the **** thinks of pulling pistons out the bottom? Best advice I can give is if the piston is out of the cylinder, take the rings off and then carefully push it back up through. That probably won't be easy with the limited amount of space

yeah that was gonna be my next bet, it's gonna be a B*#% to get those things off...and what sucks is I have the head off, so all the pistons that I don't need out are extremely accessible now

so by some will of god, my roommate got the mothers back in. Don't ask me how, but it's done. All the rings are fine, the cylinder wall is fine, I don't know how the #*$% he did this

So you are going to trust that someone stupid enough to push the pistons out the bottom got them back in without breaking something and put the car back together that way?
