resizing rods?

I wonder if they make a rod bearing that is over sized on the outside to make for a difference of making the rod end larger because the fact that they.are cracked caps and cannot be resided the old fashioned way

A rod is only about $65 so not sure it's worth all that trouble.

This one? FORD 6.0 DIESEL POWERSTROKE 03-07 CONNECTING RODS (8) - eBay (item 170609554341 end time Mar-29-11 19:49:35 PDT)

You can buy them from Ford for this: Connecting rod, f250 pick-up - 6.0l diesel - 2003-07 super duty - 6.0L DIESEL - 2003-07 SUPER DUTY
03-07 MSRP $99.90 Your Price $65.93

LOL--kinda like the guy my wife found on the .Org last night selling IPR/VGT connectors for $45 each when you can buy a package of 2 for <$8 plus shipping.
