I have access to most of the tools. I dond have a cylinder hone. I think that is the only special tool you need isn't it? Can i even change the piston rings with the motr still in the car?

I did it with the engine still in the car. I rented the piston ring compressor and honing tool from Autozone. You will also want to buy a piston ring expander to get the old rings off and the new rings on.

You have to drop the oil pan, remove the oil baffle and pickup, unbolt the rods and then push the pistons up through the block. I would seriously recommend a Helms manual if you don't have one to ensure the honing is done correctly, the rings are aligned correctly, and the torque on all the critical bolts are correct.

I have a Haynes manuel that cover show to tear down and rebuild the entire motor. It covers everything i need to do the piston rings. Thanks a lot for your help. I s there anything else i should know before starting the tear down?
