oops. piston out...wrong end

Post by skabrock5 » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:50 pm

I was undressing my block and pulled a piston out the bore from the bottom hahahha bruto. any ideas on squeezing in the rings to get the piston back up and out from the top? where's "el chapulin Colorado" when you need him?

Seen it done before and the guy ended up throwing the engine away. A regular piston ring tool wont work unless you shorten it and it still will be a bitch to do. I think you have to try and remove or crack the rings.
