pistons

you can only pull out threw the bottom if you have crank out.even if you pull them out threw the bottom, you will still have to ream the top of the cylinder because you install threw the top.
a good reamer you can get from
Goodson Tools and Supplies for Engine Builders
or
Industrial Supply Equipment from MSC Industrial Supply
i found one cheaper
Ridge Reamer - 27030oem
use a scraper or blunt edged instrument to loosen the carbon deposits.do not damage the cylinder with the scraper.you can remove the remaining carbon with a scotch-brite cleaning pad.once carbon is removed then you can ream, make sure the ridge reamer does not gouge into the cylinder bore or remove more metal than needed. mark each piston according to the cylinder.
since you have the crank out check your cooling nozzles, make sure they are clean.
when installing the new rings make sure all three rings are 120 deg away from each other(the gaps).
make sure that your install the pistons with word front is towards the front of the cylinder block, if they do not have the making make sure you mark them with a marker indicating front. if you remove the rods make sure you install the same way, if you don't, the rods will hit the block.
