If the journal on the crank is OK then there's no reason you can't replace the parts with the engine in the frame. If the journal is going to have to be ground to repair it, then by default they all will. In that case the engine will need to come out. While it's out, think about it, something caused the rod bearing to spin, be it low oil pressure, trash in the system causing a blockage to that bearing, etc, etc. Because your already having all of the rod journals ground your going to have new bearings in all of those spots, and while the crank is being ground why not have the mains checked too, and on, and on.
