Removing Rods, Pistons Ect...HELP!

[2gTSIFZone]

long story short i threw a rod in my 95 so i got a new (to me) block. Im trying to remove the rods and pistons from the block... WHAT IN THE HECK is the name of the tool i need? i believe its called a journal protector but i could quite possibly be mistaken xD and if so, where in the world can i find one? ive asked all my tuner friends, local shops Pep Boys, Autozone you name it... any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated!!!

Is the head already off? If your trying to remove the rods then drop the oil pan rod bolts are a 12m take two out then turn the crank to remove the other two. I just got doing this a hour ago

Not sure which tool your talking about??? Ive never needed a special tool to take a rotationg assembly out. Just a ratchet and a hammer handle. Just be sure that the head is off, you cant take the pistons and rods out from the bottem.

put rubber hose on the end of the rod bolts after you get the caps off to prevent scratching the crank journals

Tool? The pistons/rods come out the top with the head off the engine. They will not come out of the bottom even if you remove the squiters due to the main journals.
