RE: piston removal
you could take the pistons out throu the bottom, but you would have to remove the crankshaft...therefor, you would have to take the motor out of the car....and you also cant get them back in through the bottom....you have to go through the top...
if you take the head off, then you can get the pistons out and put them back in while leaving the motor in the car

No. You need to pull the crank. To pull the crank you need to pull the flywheel. To pull the flywheel you need to pull the tranny. So therefor nothing to hold the engine up. Because you will need to remove the left motor mount in the process. While ur in there make sure to do ur oil pump, water pump, and timing belt. And since ur doing pistons I would just get new bearings and rings while ur at it. Good luck messing around with the top. That lip on there will give you hell trying to pull them out and trying to get them in.
