well...it would be a miracle to get the piston out the bottom....so..in an answer..no.....
you would need to pull the heads apart and have them magnefluxed to make sure they aren't cracked or anything....
so..I'd pull it completely down if it were me..replace all the gaskets and check everything..since it's out..might as well...you'd be well ahead to do that ..plus get the cam journels line bored for true..and have the crank checked...but that is just me...
