Rod bearings different depending on year?

American_Muscle · Jun 22, 2007

Hi guys

I recently ordered a set of rod bearings for my 01 GT.

I received the bearings a couple of days ago and the package says Ford 4.6l V8 SOHC 1991-98
I know the Romeo 4.6l was introduced in 91.
Did the bearings change at all or are they all the same for 4.6l?
I did a search on summitracing and apparently they're all the same...the same rod bearings for 91 all the way up to 06.
Could this be?

Thanks
Patrick

as long as the rods are Romeo and the rod bearings are for Romeo, your safe.
it's the Windsor's that are different on the rods and the mains

Ok thanks.

Also,
I removed one of the bearings and it appears that the crank journal might've been scratched a bit by the bearing.

When I run my finger over the journal I can barely feel it...a little roughness.
Not a lot..like I said I can barely feel it.

Is that enough damage that I have to get a new crank orhave this one turned?

Thanks
Patrick

it is enuff to cause problems but shouldn't need to be turned, take it to a machine shop and they can prob polish it up so its smooth again
