Two questions.
1) How hard is it to pull the heads? I know all the original plastic vacume lines will break and I will get them mixed up. I have no books for this car so links to a manual would be great!!
2) Can I drop a piston from the bottom to change rings? That will be if everything else looks OK.
If you pull the heads you might as well pull the engine. Makes it much easier, and no, the pistons won't come out the bottom. If it blew a head gasket you will need to pull the engine any way. Antifreeze is not kind to bearings so the block will need to be cleaned and checked.:frown:
