I know its better to remove the engine from the car , but I do not have the equipment or space to take out the engine. Can I drop the pan and remove the pistions , then get my torque wench in to torque the rods . Thanks for ant reply

Yep, if you cant remove engine then go that way, hint is to set No 1 piston on TDC, drop sway bar, loosen large nut on side of sump and completlely undo oil pump p/up tube nut and sump will be able to be lowered and pulled forward. Just take your time, keep everything clean and check everthing you do when refitting caps, etc.Smile
