I'm rebuilding the motor in my daughters truck. It's an '02 Lariat Supercrew with 4.6. I had to have the crank turned due to Rod bearings seized. My question is do I need to replace the bolts for the main bearings or are they reusable?
Make sure you get the rods checked at a good machine shop. When the bearing spins it distorts the rod. You should be able to get the bolts from your favorite parts store. Replace the head bolts too.
Ok, so far, I have that only the dealerships and Summit Racing have the bolts for the main caps and rod caps. Problem is, Summit is showing multiple kits. Some with bolts, some with studs. Mine has 9 bolts and 1 stud.
