Pull engine to replace rings? Do I have to pull the engine out of the engine bay to just replace the rings? I would imagine with a ring replacement I would also have to rehone the cylinders. Is that right?
Re: Pull engine to replace rings? Removing the rads/pistons will be almost impossible with the engine inside. The k member is totally going to make it a PITA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Pull engine to replace rings? It would be beyond a PITA to swap rings w/out removing engine.
Honing for new rings is a "common sense" thing. Yes, do it. Remember: Hone, not bore. Can't take much outta the innards of a LS1 cylinder...
