you can but to change all the bottom bearings you'll need to support the engine, remove the subframe, gearbox and then sump. Its not a great deal more time consuming to remove the engine and at least you can get a proper inspection then.

yeah was looking at the subframe alrite im just gonna take out the engine cos if theres damage to the shaft which i think there is by the sound of it at least ill be able to get that out aswell and get it done .
definitly no chance of making punchestown now

Because it get alot more expensive if one of the rods punches a hole in the block and makes shit of everything rather then just having the crank ground and a new set of shells!
