hey Hoon/Team,

do you think is at all possible to drop in some pistons/rods/rings with the block and motor in the car? Maybe if could drop the subframe somehow? I remember people doing this back in my honda days by pulling the oil pan and head and just plastiguage the lower end bearings in the car to make sure are ok, hone the cylinders in the car and then slap it back together and make BIG POWA.... my motor is fine but curious on this as my motor mileage gets higher and higher at this power level just in case

With the "upper oil pan" on these cars that will be more work.

Just pull the whole thing.
