I can change my rod bolts by just dropping my oil pan right?

 

no, they have to be pressed out by a machine shop

 

why do you need a machine shop to press them out. I have had friends that change rings and rods and **** like that with no machine help . And if u can turn the crank moving the pistons with a socket.

because the stock rods uses a stud and nut. after pressing the studs out and installing the bolts, you still need to have the rods resized. unless you have all these machines in your garage, take it to a machine shop.

 

K thanks just was wondering because i know people that have done it there self just was curious. Wasnt saying u were wrong just want a answer

Because the piston rods have the rods pressed in. Piston rings aren't pressed in, they just slide onto a piston so that's a completely different job and much easier aswell.
