I have a BIG question...
Has anyone taken the engine apart in the car? I need to replace piston rings, and idk if I need to pull the engine out, or if it can be done in the car.
Ideas?
 
I know. But idh a hoist, or the room to do a full pull.
I usually pull the engines at the shop, bring'm home, and work on'm at my leisure. But bj's at home, and idh a way to get it to the shop.
I'm a small dude, and I've done tranny swaps in my garage. I have HEIGHT, not side-room, so yea. LoL.
Can I safely drop the pan w the block in the car?
