Best Answer

The pistons and connecting rods have to be disconnected from the crankshaft, then removed from the top of the engine block. The oil pan and heads will have to be removed to gain access.

How do you change the piston rings?

Quite simply you have to remove the pistons. first drop the oil pan second disconnect connecting rod end caps third either remove crankshaft or remove cylinder heads then finally remove pistons. removing pistons are commonly removed from the bottom of the engine. they are pushed out of the top where the cylinder heads sit. Once removed you can replace the rings and then you have to get a piston ring compressor to reinstall the pistons.

Would changing the pistons solve an oil problem?

Changing the pistons will NOT fix an oil problem UNLESS you have a hole in the piston, which would cause many more problems as well. Placing new rings on the pistons, along with honing the cylinder walls (which is necessary if you are replacing rings) WILL allow the cylinder to seal better, improving compression and stopping oil slipping past the oil ring. It would be wise to check valve guides and seals as well if you decide to change the rings.
