I'm installing new rings in my 1.8 and I've been told two different processes so
I wanted to get your input as to which one is best I was told that you can pull the cylinders and leave the pistons on the rod and replace the ring and then install the cylinder back on the piston while it is still connected to the rod. I was also told that you can remove the piston from the rod and replace the rings and put the piston back in the cylinder while not connected to the rod and then connect back to the rod. What do you think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

It's easier to replace the rings without taking the pistons off the rods. You save yourself the trouble of taking the circlips off.
BUT, you need a ring compressor that you can take off around the piston. |
