Yes, I managed to take out and later refit a remetalled No 3 con rod without removing the engine. However, I think I was lucky that the crank journal was serviceable - hardly marked and within the (couple of thou?) ovality limit. (Getting a series of accurate micrometer measurements upsidedown in the confines of the crankcase took a bit of practice.)
