Message One had bearing knock while driving.. One had bearing Knock during transition from Loaded to Unloaded, one was low oil pressure..

I did all from the Bottom.. JUST BEARINGS.. as I did not want to pull them from the Road.. My First attempt was 8 Hours start to finish.. Faster after that..

Need an Engine Cradle ( Harbour Freight ) so you can pull the Crossmember..

Likely you will not get the Front Main Bearing Upper out, as the Cam Belt is pulling on it..

Of the Three I've done from the Bottom, only ONE was I able to replace all bearing halves.. The others were " Well it's better than it was ".. and ALL bearing Noises went away..

MOST of the Crank Load is on the Lower Half of the Bearings any way..

Rods I did all of them.. Usually it's a FAST swap and go.. so no Nissan Bearings.. Just King Bearing at ~75$ for the set.. and run with it..

All Three of these Nissans has >200K Miles on them
