    Don't even try. You have to practically pull your engine just to remove the oil pan. Pull it. Save your back and knuckles.

      I would pull the motor because my dad has a lift [img]smile.gif[/img] I think you can get the heads off without pulling it, but its really hard. On the subject of pistons I am almost sure that you should pull the motor. good luck

        what you are talking about requires a full engine rebuild, because of the pistons.

          Its been 4 years since I rebuilt an engine :( . If you enjoy the work, pull the thing. chances are you will finish faster and with less pain if you just pull it.
