Yes, but... A car engine has more than one piston rod, and to get to them you have to disassemble the entire engine. As long as you are at it, rebuild all of them. Here is how: Remove wrist pins from the pistons. The rods will come off. Remove the bearings from the rods and cap. Keep the caps with their respective rods. DO NOT CROSS-MIX THEM. Re-torque the bearing caps onto the ends of the rods. Re-bore the holes. This is best done by a professional machine shop. Buy new (oversized) bearings to put in the oversized holes. The size difference is a matter of a few thousandths of an inch, so you will need a good set of calipers to measure. As long as you are at it, hone out the cylinders and buy new piston rings. Also replace the crank journal bearings in the engine block. Voila. New engine.

How do you change a rod in a 1994 Toyota Camry?
Ask this question again as "How do you rebuild the engine in a 1994 Camry with _____ engine?" replacing _____ with the specific engine in your car.
How does a piston moves downward in d suction operation in a 4stroke engine?
The piston is moved by the connecting rod which in turn is moved by the crankshaft. It is only on the power stroke that the piston moves the connecting rod, crankshaft and all the rest of the engine, in all the other strokes the engine, crankshaft and connecting rod move the piston.
What is the function of a piston rod?
It connects the piston to whatever the design calls for the piston to push or pull on. In a combustion engine, the piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, turning linear reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
Will your engine knock if your try to drive it and you have a blown piston ring on a 1988 Chevy Silverado?
A bad ring would probably chatter in the cylinder and cause serious oil consumption. Knocking would most likely be either bearings (typically rod) or piston slap which is a common trait of a 350. Piston slap isn't serious as long as it clears up within a few seconds of starting the engine. Rod knocking means you get to rebuild/replace the engine or wait for a rod to go through the side.
What Parts in an engine?
piston pin, piston rings, side bearings, connecting rod bearings
In a typical automotive engine the piston contains?
Oil rings Combustion rings Piston rod Piston rop cap
Function of a connecting rod of an ic engine?
In a reciprocating engine, the connecting rod is used to connect the piston to the crankshaft. It converts the linear motion (reciprocating motion) of the piston to the circular motion of the crankshaft.
