is the motor disassembled? out of the car? is the head even off the motor? You gotta tell us more or no one is going to want to help you.

So you bought replacement, OEM size/type pistons and you just want to switch them out?

You are going to need the block disassembled, just taking the head off wont allow access to what you need. Whoever you get to do it, make sure they've done it before, or you'll just be digging your car's grave.

If you can't find someone legit on here to do it for you, your best bet would be take the block out of the car, take the head off, and take just the shortblock still assembled to a machine shop.

You saved them some work, so you won't pay as much, but you're really paying for the time and the confidence in the work being done.
