you have to disassemble the block, separate the pistons from the rods, then press the wrist pins into the new pistons and rods, then you have to check clearances, space the rings, etc...its very time consuming, and labor = time x money

If its your first time doing this then it would probably take you about a week or 2 to get it right. If you got the skills it could be done in 2 days. If not 2 weeks.
