Default Hole in one???
I think I burned a hole in the #1 piston. Can I replace the piston without pulling the motor? Pull the head and the pan and take the piston out the top? :confused:

It can be done that way. Some dealers do the ring swap with the motor in the car. It's not that difficult, once you've got the pan off.
