Curt, The only thing really tricky about replacing your pistons and sleeves is swapping the new pistons to your connecting rods. I had my machinist do it on my motor rebuild. Seems you have to heat the pistons enough to get them off the wrist pins. Also, make sure you check the ring gap on the new rings! Ask me how I know. The real danger is developing shipwrights desease while you are in there!
