Piston replacement in a 94 4.0 ohv
Well what started as a cracked head or two has now turned into a big pain in my butt.
I was about to put the motor back together with the new heads when I was cleaning it out and noticed a blown piston and a very carboned different piston.
How hard are piston to change in these motor, are they even worth the effort.
I was told I can pull the oil pan and disconnect the connecting rods and then push the pistons out. Is that the easiest way to do it?
Here are some pics to feast upon.

I am trying to fix the truck for my father-in-law. I have already spent over $500 of their money, I am not buying a short block. I know it looks bad, but I don't have a choice in how I fix it. I need to fix it as cheaply and reliably as possible, even though those don't go together.
This should not have happened at 160k, but I don't think the previous owner took good care of it and his son drove it like a bat out of hell and didn't take care of it for the 6 months or so he drove it.
