How much time/how difficult is it to change the piston rings if the short block is already out of the car?

honestly, if you've never done it, don't ask.
All you have to do is unbolt the rods/pistons, pull off the rings, re-gap new ones, break glaze, bolt back together.
and thats the cheap and sloppy way to do it.
I don't like re-ringing motors, but thats just me, ask mike, he knows a hell of alot more on this subject. [/b][/quote]
That's pretty much it. Hey, I've never done it before; but I did it. It's always good to learn stuff yourself w/ hands-on experience.
PS. Swanny, it's "maintenance"
