Hi Bob
I have changed cylinders multiple times without removing shortblock from
the mount.
If you just lap the valves you can probably reuse the existing pushrods,
if the valve adjusters need to be backed off too far you can add shims
under the rocker shaft pedestals.
Reassembly of the cylinders to the case is the same as if the engine was
on a bench, Install pistons in cylinders 1st, then just slide pin in
when connecting to the con rod.

Hi All
I have dismantled the top end of my Great Plains 2180 which is still on the
airplane and it occurred to me that replacing the pushrod etc. may present some
challenges.
Has anyone done this or should I actually remove the block from the airplane?
Basically just want to hone the cylinders,install new rings and lap the valves.
Thanks
