I've haven't seen this asked yet so, say you just rebuilt your transmission, your block and head, so that everything mechanical is new practically, and you wanted to actually take the time to regularly buy new bearings and switch them out, since I read that you can apparently change bearings inside the car, not sure how practical it is though, just wanted some opinions
 
Main crank bearings require engine removal, well you may as well pull it.
Rod bearings can be replaced by pulling oilpan, ive seen it done, same with piston rings.
But if you want to prevent crankwalk, thats the main bearings, and it requires pullin the head and such, so you may as well pull her out, and send your trans to shepard racing while your at it. You can also do the mod to correct the crankwalking issue. Have fun with your 7 bolt!
