We take the main caps and rod caps off of our dragster every run. If we have squished or hurt a bearing, we put a new one in and run her. Most of the time we just measure them and throw them back in. You can remove the bearings and put them back in as many times as you want as long as you do it right.
The mechanic working on my 1962 Poly 318 is going to attempt to replace the rear main seal w/o removing the crank - says he should be able to just slide it in.
He also says that if he can't I'll then have to replace all the crank bearings when he removes the caps - says you can't re-use the crank bearings once you've removed the caps.
Bearings aren't that expensive, but I'd rather not incur the expense unless I have to.
