ok, here are my question to you supra masters. my engine is knocking and i assume that i have bad rods. is there a way to replace the rods, pistons and crank from the bottom without taking off the head?

There is no way sorry, pistons are installed through the top of the engine.

Unless you got really creative with a piston installer through the bottom and somehow got it to fit and tap the pistons upwards? i doubt it though lol.

thanks dude.

Beyond definitely not possible, even if you were to break the pistons out somehow, new pistons/ rings can only go through the top as the ring compressor only works for the top.

Besides, if you have a rod knock, the crank will need to be reground.....

You don't......
You take it to a machine shop that has a crank grinding machine.
