is it posible to replace rod bearing without removing the heads or crank on a 2002 6.0 iron block truck motor? the motor ran upside down for a while and must mave spun a bearing .

I had all my rod bearings and rod bolts replaced while the motor was still in the car (vette). Had to remove the front spring to get the oil pan off. Its a task to plasti-gage the bearing clearances though.

Also the big end on the rod probably needs to be inspected as well so unfortunately the short block has to come apart.
If this is a quick/budget fix than you can get away with it but don't sell it to anyone you know
