ya i am so lucky! i was expecting the rod (among other things) to jump out when i dropped the oil pan lol i think i am gonna just go the cheap way for now with another d16 till i have a little more saved up bcuz ill need a swap and a paint job at the same time so i can paint the engine bay. b18c1_hatch im pretty sure youll need to pull the head so you can get the piston all the way out bcuz the bearings need to be machined on the rod.
