Subject:Replacing cylinder barrel with engine in van.
From:Aaron Reams

Hi Volks,
 
I just pulled the cylinder head off my 1.9 to fix a leaking a leaking
head gasket and accidentally pulled the cylinder barrels off with the
head.   
 
Any tips for getting the cylinders back over the piston rings with the
engine in the van?  
 
Is it possible/necessary/easier to remove the pistons with the engine
in?
 
Fortunately all was not in vane as one of my piston rings was cracked in
half.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Regards,
Aaron
