Just make sure that if you replace your bearings, you check the stamp on the crank and ensure you buy the correct colors.

Also, you mentioned earlier that to replace the rod bolts, we have to remove the oil sump ? Thats at the bottom of the engine right ? Or am i wrong ? The video i posted shows the guy replacing from above the engine ?

Yup, you just remove the oil sump (on the underside of the car) for RWD. For AWD, you have some extra work to remove the front diff and a few other parts.

Are you recommending that replacing the bearing while upgrading the rod bolts is not necessary? I thought it is typically recommended to replace the bearing whenever rod bolts are replaced. Can you share your experience?

Thanks,
