Oh but you can do the mains in the car, it is tricky but it can be done.

It's not an easy job at all without taking the head off. I once did the 
mains and rod bearings on a diesel without removing the head, but the 
engine was on a stand, and it was much easier to do at waist height 
working rightside up (and obviously mains cannot be done with the engine 
in the car.)

If you're going to invest that much time into the motor, pull the head, 
and lightly hone and re-ring the pistons at the same time that you do the 
rod bearings. Otherwise pick up a low mileage 1.8/2.0 and swap it in for 
some real fun.
