is it possible to take the pistons out of the rods or their stuck on there for good???

 

You can heat up the rod and press the wrist pin out, but a lot of times the pistons get distorted or crack under the pressure.

yep, the rod can be reused, the pistons will almost always be trashed. They make a special tool to press the pin out without trashing it but almost nobody has it.

 

Even with the tool, the wrist pin can sometimes snag the piston and try to carry the skirt out with the pin.

 

yea i got new wrist pins and pistons anyways so i should b good

 

u think a machine shop can take out the pistons and the pins?

Yes or anybody with a press...given the pistons will be trashed, but the rods will be fine.

 

damn... cuz i tried heating up the rod and slipping the wrist pin in and it cooled down too quickly and now the wrist pin is half out and half in with brand new jdm itr pistons...

 

Machine shop should be able to take care of that for you....though it may or may not work. I did the same my first try and the machine shop was able to press it in fully with no problems. Engine went to 9k everyday, so its possible....though I learned my lesson when it comes to taking certain things to a machine shop.
