Cracked 4th piston AGAIN!!!

Hey Guys,
I think i've cracked the number 4 piston (prob around the 2nd & 3rd ring land) and I was wondering if there is anyway to change the piston without pulling the entire motor out eg. being able to take off the sump while its still in the car??
Also, this is the second time no. 4 has gone on a relatively new motor. Have any of you guys had probs with the no. 4 cylinder leaning out etc. with the L300 intake manifold??
The pistons are hyperutechnic and obivously dont like seeing 16psi!!! Motor isnt even 15000kms old and this cylinder has gone twice with no evidence of detonation....
