Reply to "Piston removal"

I did it! It is possible to remove piston 8 from below. It is only possible for piston 8 since the others are blocked by the crankshaft bearings. I had no significant ridge thus piston de- & re-installation was no problem. This saved me from removing the intake manifold and cylinder heads. I got the crankshaft balanced and they needed the piston, connection rod, etc to calculate the bobweight. They found 83 grams of imbalance. Engine spins way smoother now.
