i never tore a motor apart before but I have done basically everything else

the motor is in the car, and the car runs good, it just smokes a lot so i am guessing rings...

i am think this is how i would go about it. Turn the crank to TDC and line up the marks, drain oil, pull down oil pan, pull off head, and then start with the piston that is a tdc and take the rod bolts out and push it up and replace rings, then rotate crank until the next one is tdc... and just make sure to torque everything

does this sound right? am i missing anything? and would i have to replace the rod bearings since i took the bolts out? thanks guys
