Also with connecting rods removed the crankshaft would have little to no oil pressure (depending on how the oil holes are drilled), which would be bad and the crank shaft would just be dumping oil out of the oiling system through the uncoverd rod journal hole so you would have very low over all oil pressure.
There are plenty of very light weight sub 2L diesels with less than 4 cylinders why do this to a big old 4cyl?
