Default I need help replacing piston rings on stock B20 pistons: w/turbo

Hey, guys

I'm kind of in a desperate situation to get my car back on the road before it snows, so I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

here are my questions:

1)how the hell do I take the top two piston rings out? 'cause they are jammed in there not wanting to come out.

2)can I use B16 ARP main bolts on a B20?

3)ring end gap specs for a stock B20

4)could I possibly use the molylube(out of ARP product) as an "assembly lube"? I'm asking 'cause I've heard you could but making sure with you guys.

**I have all the parts, tools, and a basic nology on how to position the rings.

Thanks in advance

You need a ring expander. You cant take off rings without damnaging them without that tool.

Use B20 main bolts

Top ring: .0018 inch - .0028inch

second ring: .0015 inch - .0026inch

Dont know about the moly lube for assembly lube. I would just pick up assembly lube instead.

Thanks

I got the top two piston rings out by dipping top part of pistons in a hot water and pryed the rings out. it came out good.

oh yeah, where I live don't have assembly lube nor they could order it unless I drive out of town and go to the bigger town.

anyone else know about using a MOLYLUBE as an assembly lube?
