The intermediate mains and centre are no problem, but the end caps are a
pain. They are secured with bolts through the timing cover on the front, and
both front and rear are a bitch to get out without buggering the gasket, and
get back in squarely.
I've done it a couple of times between races, just because I didn't have time
to pull the engine, but don't recommend it.
If it is just for rods, no problem.
