So I plan to do my swap k8 to klze soon is it easier to take the motor out from the top or the bottom.

At least bearings are cheap.

If the heads are off the motor you can just tap it out of the cylinder and it comes out. That way the whole piston comes out.

This may be late but I never split my block I just took the oil pan off and got a long extension in there, the bottom part of the piston falls out with the bottom bearing and you gently tap out the top with a light hammer and screw driver.

He's wrong. Don't worry about it.

No depending on the scanner it can scan older models, I use my Snap On MT2500 with the asian cartridge and Mazda adapter all the time.
