hi bud pull the engine out and get into it and dont be scared, i think you can just pull the crank out with out taking the head but not 100 %shore good luck and have funn

Yes you have to remove the engine, but you dont need to remove the head.
The main bearing are a matrix system ie all joined together, you have to reseal this once you are putting it together.
Also there is a o ring between the two, if you dont put this in you will have no oil pressure

I can be easier to remove the cam shaft

All I can say is thank god its not just me! Mine did the same thing, take motor out, put in second hand good one, new big ends and bearings while I was at it. Goes great since not a prob. Didn't have to pull head off either. Gazza!
