Rod Bearing Replacement (in truck???) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone ever tried to replace rod bearings without pulling the motor? Just curious. My buddy replaced the rod bearings on his car with the motor still in the car. Not sure it would be worth the pain in my C20. Which is worse... Pulling the motor? or Removing the oil pan with that cross member in the way?

Either way.....I have a knock and was thinking of taking the pan down and looking at it. Need to reseal the pan anyways. Just wondering if the effort is worth it. Or just pull the engine, do an overhaul and put it back. Hmmmmm

Thoughts anyone?
