can we replace the pistons.....
i want to know if we are able to drop the oil pan, replace the pistons, rods and rings without having to take the motor out.
has anyone done this? if so whats the down time like? there is a motor shop near me, and if its not hard to do, i want to replace my lower end (keep the same crank).

Yes it can be done and i have doenthis may times.
If there is no damage and the change of pistons and rods does not require engeneering work then your lucky. if you run into problems its 2X the effrot to remove the engine out of the car as the box and transfer case is still attached.
pitty you cant do this on a subaru......there you have no choice!

The head will have to come off.....then you can keep the block in the car. If you are going thru all that trouble, it will make things much easier to drop the entire thing. Check main bearings, properly clearance the bores etc. Just my two cents.
