Honestly, this is pretty obvious, tell me how you are going to get new pistons/rings in their, properly tourque down all the bolts , with all those suspension pieces in the way, plus you are going to have to pull the head off anyway... Use a little bit of logic.... (it would be easier to yank the engine out and rebuild it then to try and do a half ass-rebuild with the engine in the car).

If you have to ask that question you shouldn't be rebuilding it yourself.
