Subject:      Changing Rods
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Hello-
        Is it possible to remove the rods on a 2.1 engine AND resemble without
splitting the case? More to the point with the engine horizontal (as in, in
the van still)? I think I should pull one of the rods to have it checked,
since the connected piston was chipped after slamming into an intake valve
which had seized on its guide. I don't have an engine hoist and looking
through the Bentley, I cannot tell if I am liable to lose anything into the
case, nor can I spot anything that would make it too difficult to do this
job with the engine still in the van (except some neck and arm strain). I
have never touched the bottom end of an engine and therefore I really have no
idea of what I may be getting myself into. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
