I was starting to think I misdiagnosed the problem until I move the piston to TDC. On the front edge of the top of the piston there was a small chunck missing. I probed it with a tiny screwdriver and sure enough the top ring was showing. Looks like the engine is coming out.:(
Since I have it mostly disassembled now I was going to pull it out the top since it seems like I shouldn't have any clearance problems. My question is can I reassemble it outside of the car and lower it in from the top or should I put the short block in and finish the reassemble in the car?
