Ok I am changing my rod bearings as there is a ticking noise from the underside of the car and it seems like insurance work anyway. Well I was curious on what parts i need exactly to do the job and how hard the job really is to do and what trouble or bumps i might hit in getting to or changing the bearings thanks.

You can get the bearings from Napa for pretty cheap. You will also need to get the oil pan gaskets,assembly ****, and rtv for the rest of the oil pan.
Also might want a can of pb plaster.I would soak the ypipe bolts for a few days before you try and take that off.That is usually that main problem with doing that job,if the ypipe has not been off in a while. Its a pretty easy job,just make sure you get all the right specs for the bearings and oil pan.Good Luck

Don't forget your trusty torque wrench 
I'm not sure how hard it is with the engine in, but the actual bearing replacement isn't all that bad, just gotta be patient when getting in those top bearings.

Don't you need a oil pump pickup tube gasket (EGR gasket works too)?
Ok found kurts guide and found most of the parts except the Oil pump pickup tube gasket but someone said above I can use a EGR valve gasket instead. I was curious if this one would work? Thanks.

Also where would I get a Exhuaust Flex Pipe Gasket? Plz don't tell me I got to go to dealer I HATE em.

you only need one flex pipe gasket, this goes in between the y-pipe and the catback. You can buy a real oil pump pickup gasket here: http://www.shonutperformance.com/indexhome.html (only $2.50)

Hey guys, he has an 89, he needs the donut gasket for the exhaust, not the flex pipe gasket...that is unless he wants to upgrade to the flexpipe
