[QUOTE="Storm728, post: 11583493, member: 130790"] I spun two rod bearings in my mach and am rebuilding it. I went with all felpro gaskets (i work at an autoparts store so i get a pretty decent deal.) make sure to get the heads machined, i got the head bolts, drivers side head gasket, 2 connecting rods and rod bolts from the ford dealer. i got the main bolt set by ford racing from summit. my crank had to be redone .30 on the rod journals and .20 on the main journals, i got mahle clevite rod and main bearings (very good shit from what i hear.) about to open the oil pump to see if the reason why i spun the bearing was because of my throttle getting stuck for 10 seconds and the oil not being able to lubricate the system or if a gear broke inside. i also went with ngk ix iridiums. just take your sweet ass time, im being SUPER nit picky about everything and making sure it gets done right so this shit doesnt happen again. also before it starts going back together, get some brake cleaner or similar item and make sure everything is 100% free of foreign debris. i dont know if you have started but doing this on jacks is a ****ing joke compared to using a lift, if you have access do yourself a huge favor, i took the motor out from the top, took me about a week to barely start on getting things off the motor while working on it everyday to ~5 hours on the lift to drop the tranny and pull the motor as well as taking the oil pan off and checking all the rods [/QUOTE]
