they are all back in situ, i have removed crank and put the caps back in with all of the shells in and the rods have got all of the shell back in with the caps on again and are stored in the correct order so i know exactly what came from where!

way i am seeing it is that they are genuine ford items that have not done any milage hardly so the engine wont need a great deal of work doing to it before it gets built up, and the millage that the engine has done compared to normal zetec millage is small and as they have got no wear marks or scores on them if its not needed then why change just for sake of it!
