I used that method to determin if I had Loose rod bearing and which one. I had the head off and put a magnetic indicator on the block.

I turned the cylinder to top center. I then turned it a little more which pulled down on the piston and seated the rod at the bottom of the crank throw. I zeroed the indicator and tapped the piston with a dead blow hammer. If it showed a reading that was the bad rod bearing.
