Default Re: .030"-.004 rod bearings

From my experience with any thing related to NOS Ford parts especially connecting rods in my opinion what we get are actually original factory rejects. The finished tolerances were not up to the standards for engine assembly at the time of production so these rods were simply put aside. I expect Ford did not destroy these parts. Eventually from that point on these NOS parts began to float around until someone who ends up with the part is finally going to use it. Expecting a nice part but sadly discover that's not the case.
