It can be done but its pretty foolish. You really should get the cyl. walls honed if you are staying with the current bore - even if you are re-using the stock rings.

Do things right or don't do them at all.
At the bare minimum hone the block and get new rings.
Also send the entire rotating assembly to a machine shop for balancing.

Gotta pull the head off anyways, it's much easier to install on an engine stand anyways. Also i recommend plastigauging the bearings as well. Don't forget to get full rotating assembly balanced at a machine shop as well.

Yeah, it is much easier to just suck it up and pull the engine, but i know somebody who has removed the Piston/Rod assembly without pulling the block out. But its like going around your azzhole to get to your elbow.
