[QUOTE="SvtCobra0404, post: 16219651, member: 195339"] Replaced all my connecting rod bearings, Crankshaft Journals were in Okay shape so I decided to get brand new bearings from ford (oe spec/size).I made sure to use assembly lube on each part of the bearing/rod. As I followed the torque sequence: 177in ft lb, 28 ft lb, 105 degrees. I was able to torque down the first three in the sequence ford provided, but then the motor got tight to turn by hand. I had to undo the torque on them and then it spun freely. What could be going wrong here? Motor spun freely before it was pulled, removed oil pan and found damage on cylinder 2 rod bearing and decided to replace all bearings from ford. Would I need to send the crank out? And undersize my bearings? Please any input will help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
