I've heard a lot of people do it that way, but if it were my 5.0 (which it will be in a little while here
), I'd at least inspect it, take a micrometer to it, and refinish the journals with emery cloth. I'm going to either have mine turned down 0.010" and rebalanced, or just buy a crank kit which consists of a crank and matching bearings. Most auto parts stores have these available, and some offer a selection of no more than 0.010" turned off. Also, most of the time, these crank kits only cost about $140. Can't beat that for peace of mind when you're revving past the redline.
