The factory WSM in our Tech Portal says exactly the same and I can't find any oversize bottom end components at all.

It's the aluminium block so it can't be rebored anyway. The rods are 'sintered' with a built-in notch where they are broken to fit on the crank and the joint shouldn't be disturbed.According to Ford, the block will distort if the mains are removed and there are plenty of comments around the interweb that support this.

In other markets the fix seems to be a new short block but it's not cheap.
