what head work is needed when ringing M???

Posted by scruffyia on June 30, 2005 at 09:04:44 from (206.195.193.254):

Now that you guys got me talked into putting rings in my M instead of having it done (the thread "what would you do with my 47 M") what head work is necessary when putting rings in an M?

Can I just pull the head/oil pan off, remove rods/pistons, hone the cylinders, put new rings in the pistons, and putting it all back together with new gaskets? Or do I have to have the head plained?

And if the head doesn't need to be plained is there any reason to pull the intake/exhaust manifolds? I'm trying to avoid that if possible, broken bolts from removing manifolds and me haven't gotten along well in the past....

Thanks,
Mark
