I don't work so it'll give me something to do. One last question. Say it is a rod bearing on said piston I don't need to take off the other head to get the troubled piston/rod out right?
Sure 'nuff would. Dropping the pan you should be able to see right away. But, just to be sure, even if everythign looks okay undo all of the rod caps and look at the bearings on the rods, and be sure to look at your crank where the bearings ride on it.

droping the pan. would allow you to look up in and see any damage.
