piston ring questions

[ls94civic]

a couple questions.
Do i have to pull the head off of my gsr to replace the rings?
if i pull the oil pan out and crank shaft can i pull the pistons out through the bottom ?
my other question is i was told u could pressurize the cylinder to keep the valves in place when i change the valve seals.
has any one done/tried this????

how hard is it to hone the cylinder walls?

[ManTyme]

bring it to the machine shop so its done right

X2 but it's better to take the head of and takethe pistons from the top and if u do chance change them it's good to have the crank balanced and shit An like mantyme said def machine shop so it's done right

how much does that usually go for?

If your gonna replace the rings you might as well pull the motor out, throw a single in there in the meantime and do a completely fresh rebuild on the gsr

[papiichulo69]

Depends on the shop you go too
