re-reing from the bottom?
Is it possible, to re-ring the pistons in my 5.8 from the bottom, without removing the heads and accessories, or the transmission?
Takin the pan off, and thought it might be a swell idea to put on new piston rings while I was at it.

Besides the cylinders having a taper and a bottom ridge, with what you would have to take off the engine and front suspension and go through to pull them out of the bottom, it's easier to ****** the heads off and do it right. And, like somebody else said, I'd hate to see what you'd have to do to get 'em back IN from the bottom! Sonny
