When rod bearing clearance is too tight the end result is what is called a spun bearing -- definitely a bad thing.
Bearing clearance is the difference between the inside diameter of the bearing and the outside diameter of the crankshaft journal to which it is clamped. The bearing is supplied pressurized oil fed by the oil pump, it should never touch the crankshaft journal but should always float on a wedge of oil. If the clearance is too tight the bearing touches or drags on the crankshaft journal and the journal grabs the bearing and spins it inside the housing into which it is clamped -- which in the case of a rod bearing is the big end of the connecting rod. Once this happens it all pretty much self destructs as it chews up the big end of the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal as well.

Can you replace crankmainsand rod bearings without pulling off heads and removing pistons from bores?
No. Crank and main bearings can be get at by dropping the oil pan, but to get to the small end rod bearings you've got to get the pistons out.
