Rings can be changed with engine in situ, once all the external offerings have been removed along with the manifolds and sump......

Good luck,,,,,,

I'd imagine it would be easier and cheaper to just to change the engine.

Thats unless you can skim a head yourself!

Anyway, an interesting project me thinks - good luck.
