Re: Re: Trying to change a Piston with Engine and Crank in Place

Bob,
    LISTEN to Bob Grunau!!!!  He KNOWS what he's talking about.  Put 'em in 
from the bottom after torqueing the clamp bolt, per Bob's advice.  If you can 
find another rod to replace the "modified-by-Dremel" one, it would be a 
really good idea to do so, now.   Broken rod=demolished block--not good.  The 
hose-clamp trick works as a ring compressor--I've done it, from the bottom, 
in the car, with crank in place.  It's a b____h, but can be done with 
patience.  MUST have rods and pistons in right way 'round, or expensive 
noises are only a question of time!!
Regards, 
Carl Fritz
