It's been done before, I wish you the best of luck. It depends on what
caused the bearing to fail in the first place, if old age etc then you may
get away with it, if it's an oil gallery blocked then it's not going to do
you much good, in fact you're likely to air-condition the block the next
time it lets go as there wont be the tolerances and the bearing will be more
likely to spin. I'm assuming from the way you're question is worded that
you're not intending to remove the head, so there's not much more you can do
other than try your luck out with just replacing the rod bearings anyway
with just the sump off.

Subject: big ends
I have this crappy old urvan on its last legs and it seems to have done a
big end. Im half way through pulling the sump off and plan to just replace
the big ends in the hope of getting a bit more out of the old dear before
she carks it for good.
Any comments as to the viability of such a move?
