cant get it out without removing crank, easiest to push it out of top of block
may as well renew shells but if not just make sure the old ones go back on in the right orientation and rotation
yep very important that last bit they are matched cos they were machined together.
new shells are peanuts so a good time to replace them, smother them with oil when fitting.
i've only ever done it from the top but never removed the crank to do it though.
yes i do know what a piston is and i will replace them whilst doing it![]()

you need to measure bores and pistons to match them ,its not quite as simple as just bunging a new one in ,it may well be better to get 4 new over size pistons and get it bored and honed to new piston sizereplace the shells whilst doing the piston change* that better for ya rob?
