Low Mileage stock bore Rod/Piston swap

[DBMajik]

I did rod bearings with only dropping the transfer case, oil pan and a cross member. But that's not quite pistons/rods.

When you think about it, you could swap them without even taking the head off, though.

How do you get the pistons past the crank? What about compressing the rings to install the new pistons?
