Sorry if this is in the wrong area.

I am going to replacing the rod bearings and main bearings in a 1998 firebird soon.. It has an LS1.

And Well I need to remove the engine.

Or do I?

Thanks.

Yes you do.

Without a lift - From the top
With a lift - From the bottom

 

yep gota pull the engine. easiest way ive found is from the bottom. If you have a car lift you can use it makes this process a sinch. check this link out. Great walkthrough http://www.myls1.com/showthread.php?t=1808. Are you replacing bearing because of knock? Were you getting bad oil pressure. Better make sure it didnt damage anyother parts while its out.

 

I used a cherry picker to lift the front of my car high enough to pull it out from the bottom on the entire front end. Worked great.

 

Cherry picker out the bottom FTW

 

I am going to be replacing them because of a knock. A young kid owned the car. And I am assuming he did not leave the correct amount of oil in the car.

So on a scale of 1-10 what would you all rate this engine pull at?
