What motor?

My buddy and I took apart a DOHC ZC today, and we couldn't get the pistons out through the bottom. We had to get them from the top of the cylinder.

No, if you want to pull the piston and rod out. Yes, if you just want to slap a new bearing in it.

If it spun you need to pull that rod out.

You can replace just the bearing or just the bearing and the rod, but it's still likely that it'll start knocking again.

You have to pull the pistons out from the top because they can't physically fit through the bottom of the cylinder.

LOL, even if you got it out thru the bottom you wouldnt get it past the crank.
