Im finally getting around to doing my LS/VTEC and I have a set of P61 pistons to throw in it and I wanted to know can I replace the pistons while the engine is still in the car? Is there room to get them out without pulling the crank?

 

No you gotta pull the motor out, plus its much easier and cleaner to do it this way than working under a dirty car and floor.. Trust me

 

correct

as how would u drop in the pistons and rings in???

sorry but it is and has been done through this manner for a reason

Yes, pull the head and drop the oilpan, btw, why are you using p61's? P30's or jdm itr's would be a better choice

Because a guy gave me an old B17 block and so I have the pistons already. Plus Im running turbo so I dont want real high compression.
