Would this be a potential engine out or in situ job?
Roger, checking the valves and such is definitely done without removing the
engine. The same with removing the head. But checking the bearings requires
removal of the sump - and several bolts are blocked by the crossmember,
meaning that you'd really need to loosen the engine mounts and jack the engine
up a bit. If it were me, I would start at the top with the valves and work my
way down. If I had to check the bearings, I would remove the engine unless I
had a lift or pit so that I could stand up under the car.
