SPArKy_Dave 8,881 Posted July 9, 2018 If the bearings are stock, they will have a tiny FORD oval embossed on the back of each bearing shell, along with a date code and the size. The head gasket will also have a FORD wording embossed on it, plus a date code. 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
