Been going through my blaster lately & was wondering if there's anything I can do to check the bottom end without taking the top end off? Heard if the flywheel moves the bearings are shot? Any ideas appreciated

Noise of any kind. Could remove clutch cover and check for excess movement at that end of crank. X-2 on flywheel check .
it is all about bearings
lower rod bearing which usually locks up a engine.
then you have the case/main bearing's
1 on each side if those are damaged then it
will not rotate properly and barely run?
just 1 example.
the lower rod bearing is the most neglected because you need
to buy a whole crank or be able to press it in/out to replace it
there is tolerance on the side to side movement of the lower rod bearing/connecting rod
there should not be any up n down play on connecting rod there is a tolerance for that as well
but it is so minimal you cannot tell without proper tools
