drop trans in 45 min pull engine 4hrs

 

+ radiator, a/c crap, grill, etc..... then you need a couple hundred dollar tool to do it, and if you've never knocked in bearings well you can only hope you dont screw up because it would be hard as hell to verify a quality job with the bottom end being together.

not too mention when you knock bearings in little bearing shavings fall right down on the crank/rods and into the pan.

leave the damn bearings alone unless the motor is out of the car and completely torn down
