Default Piston rings replacement D16Z6 motor

I am planning of replacing my piston rings on my D16z6 motor.
My questiion is can I remove the piston from the top of my engine block and not from the bottom of the crankshaft.

Thanks.

Finally someone helpful answer my questions. I thought nobody reads my post. I really appreciate your help. I never done this job before. I might not have to hone the bore and just change the pistons rings and that's it. have you done this job before?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, honing is pretty cheap.

It is necessary, because if it's scathed in any way the rings won't seal right and you'll have blow-by.
