Default main bearings

to check the main bearings, can i pull the pan off the check or do i need to pull the block totally out? my reason of checking is i'm at 157,730 and my oil pressure has been low for 2 years now and i have everything for the heads cam swap including the ported oil pump but i'd still like to check the bearings to make sure. thanks

I would be very carefull going that deep into the engine if you have not done it before.

at least get someone to help you that has done it before. One mistake and you will have nothing .

good luck
