I have a 98 camry with the 5SFE engine that has developed a knock. I have already replaced the cylinder head but the knock seems to be coming from the lower part of the block and I suspect a rod bearing due to low oil level.
My question is, will it be possible (or realistic) to replace the bearings with the engine in the car? I'm just not sure how to access the bearings with the crank still intact....or is that even possible?
Since I've invested in a new head I don't want to have to replace the entire engine if it may be something that I can repair.
