If you have rod knock, most likely your crank would have had some metal removed from it as well.
If you just slap new bearings in there without knowing what clearance you have or should have, then you'll have it again due to improper clearance and being far out of spec.
It cost more to do the same job twice (and later the right way) than to do it the right way from the start.
Also keep in mind that maybe it is possible that it isn't rod know, but a loose crank pulley, or valves....I'm just wondering if you made an accurate assessment.
Harbor Freight sells mechanical stethoscopes for like $4.
I'd first get one from them, then go from there.
