It's very possible, just inconvenient to do them from the underside.

How inconvenient? Bearing in mind he is doing the rings at the same time?

To do the rings, the head needs to come off then. There's no way of doing them from the underside.

taking the head off is the easy part though
If he can change shells with the engine in situ sucessfully, removing a head and taking the pistons should be a lot easier IMO.

Ah we were hoping it could be done with the head in place...taking the head off is no problem...we've just never explored the bottom end before
