Rod Bearings serviceable with engine in car?

[pitbull]

Is it possible to replace rod bearings with the engine in the car? My car has 216,00 kilometers on it and recently developed a low oil pressure problem at idle.. I haven't looked into the oil pressure yet, but I am considering doing the rod bearings because of how cheap they are as preventative maintenance.. Am I waisting my time here? Any tips on doing this would be appreciated. Thanks!

pretty sure you can do it in the car, but i dunno whats involved with taking the oil pan off... i hope its not like northstars where you gotta take the transmission out and the exhaust off lol

It's doable on the V6, I don't see it being a problem on the V8.

All you need to do is take the Y pipe down. Then do them one at a time.
