- The main bearings can be replaced with the engine in the car, generally quicker than to R&R the engine if that's all your doing. You have to remove the bottom two bellhousing bolts to drop the oil pa

- What "recommended 30,000 mi big end bearing and 50,000 main bearing/thrust washer replacement"? That's a new one on me. There are Fram oil filters, Fram oil filters, and Fram oil filters i.e. three '
