It can be done but you will need knowledge to do it . basically remove the sump. remove all the main caps except the front one and the last one . Remember which way they came out as they will not reverse on reassembly . Now loosen off the front and rear caps about 1/8 th inch . This will allow you to push the bearing shell above the crank around until you can pull it off the journal . Observe the shell position in the cap as there is a locating tag and you push it in the direction that pushes it out first. Replacement is the reverse process putting the tag end in last. When most of the shell have been replaced then refit the caps up to where then the front and rear mains were and do them . When done re tension the caps. As I said you will need some mechanical knowledge to do it but it can be done.

Usually this can be done but I think that if you have wear on thrust faces, there is likely wear on support faces as well, Once you have the pan off, plastigage both rod and main bearings. if out of specs, you really should change all of them!! Make sure you torque everything properly and avoid getting oil on backs of bearings when installing... can lead to spun bearing.
good luck

SOURCE: 98 chevy s-10 2wd is it possible to change the oil

Yes it is possible but you will have to get about six inches of clearance so the pan will clear the oil pump pickup

should be able to get the cover off with the engine in the frame. Just take out the grille and header support, then disassemble the front of the engine. If you are dead set on removing the engine, she comes out the front after taking everything out of the way.

SOURCE: How do you change the

if you need bearings, you need a lot more. Yes you could, but its a waste of time, because if the bearings are bad, the crank, rod bearings, oil pump, ect. may also be bad.

I have a 1998 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 would I be able to motor swap it with a 1999 chevy silverado 2500 with a 5.7 without having to swap out the transmission

Should be able to. Just make sure that if you have a std. transmission, that the replacement engine has a throw-out bearing installed. Or vise versa. And check your sensors, you might need to swap from the old to the new motor to make things work.

1999 honda civic si 1.6 liter sohc engine knocking

Usually no. You can try an additive like seafoam to see if that will clean it out but under normal circumstance, you will have to pull the motor to clean it out.
Also, you need to make sure you have the right bearing (They are usually marked with colored paint) someone could have used a larger bearing on that con rod before and you may not have know and installed the wrong size. Only way to tell for sure is to use plastigauge.

I have a 2000 Jeep grand Cherokee. Can the bearing and crank shaft be replaced without having to replace the entire motor? They are telling me I need a new motor, but when I told them i couldnt come up...

Yes the crankshaft and the main bearings can be replaced w/out changing out the motor. You can probably get a motor out of a wrecked Jeep and have it installed for under 1,000.00 and have it done quicker than replacing the crankshaft, and main bearings.

I changed the oil in my 1999 dodge Stratus last night and this morning it lost all power and the engine seized but there is no oil leak. I tried to turn the crank but it won't turn. Looking for possible...

Sorry that happened, if you didn't start the motor right after you changed the oil, it's that the any oil that was left in the motor bearings would have drained out leaving them dry. Sounds like you spun a bearing when it started. You could pull the oil pan and look at the connecting rod ends, if any are blue, the motors ruined. I'd start looking for a new motor.

Main/Connector Rod bearing replacement

To do that properly you will have to pull the motor out, remove crank, check to see if you need standard or oversized bearings and do all new gaskets.

Motor knocks

Hello;
Before you start to pull the crank out, check your oil pressure via an independent gage. Then if you have around 25-30 psi gage, drain some oil out. Put a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in and top off . Change oil filter. Drive the truck for a few miles. Change the oil and filter. This should start to break away the sludge that is built up.

You may need to do this up to 10 times before you can go 3000 miles on an oil change.
Now if the oil pressure is extremely low, yes you can change the crank in chassis. I have done it in a pinch before. It is much easier to pull the engine and put a crank in. If the crank is bad, you also have a rod that is bad. You also need to clean all the parts or emminent failure will occur.
I would also change the knock sensors on your truck as well. Hope this helps. Rate me high.
Thanks;

Crank - Piston Rod Bearing Replacement - Queston

You will have to have the crankshaft machined if the rod bearing is the cause of the noise, so you will have to pull the engine, if u don't do the crank the bearing will fail in a few miles.
