  Must be a nice gas station you work in.  Fords have never had a soft 
berg problem with premature wear problems, and seldom do you find a eng 
with compleatly worn rod and mains that wasn`t hot rodded to hell. I 
worked in ford dealer****ps for 15 years and my own private repair garage 
for just as long as you and what you describe is what we used to see from 
gas station no education wanta bees. they always thought you throw a set 
of rod and mains in it and all better. Almost never did that work because 
it didn`t solve the loose cam brg problem. So unless you put a high 
volume oil pump (crutch)  in at the same time you wasted your custmers 
time and money.  KB
PS almost never did they use sized bergs. they just got standards and 
threw them in. I have never used a set of standards in anythig but a 
loose hIpo build because they were always out of spec loose.
