Agree with opening the case. You are into it this far, and if you don't split the case, you will always wonder what's inside. When you do, take lots of pictures and measurements.
However, be careful with the main and rod bearing shells, and keep them in order. There have been some bad runs of bearings. If the ones that are in the case now are within spec, and look clean, then reuse them. Bearing shells are not "wear items" in the traditional sense. Only replace them if out of spec or visually damaged.
