Rings from the bottom?

Okay this may sound redarded but I was wondering if its possible to change the piston rings from the bottom end? I just did the top end on my brothers 93 integra and didn't check the compression before hand like an idiot and he needs his rings replaced. Is it possible to successfully replace the rings from the bottom end? The motor is stock...that I know of. And it's an automatic.

I think they believe it would be easier to drop the oil pan than the manifolds, head, cams, tbelt etc. The problem is the crank is in the way and you cant drop that with the flywheel connected. Plus the piston just physically wont fit past the mains. And don't forget new rings require a hone. All this while oil drips on your forehead (that's the retarded part).

Piston rings really aren't hard on Honda engines. They take some time yes but not hard, especially if you got manual and take your time

Exactly my point. And if people are asking. They probably shouldn't even try the right way.
