Bad evening!

Today we made the first big drive after reversing the engine & gear. I'm unlucky with my car! A bearing damage is in the offing. The engine knocks increasingly louder. With the stethoscope I hear the loudest point on cylinder 2 on the oil pan. Does it make sense / is it possible to try to replace the connecting rod without removing the engine? Only the head and the pan away?
