Default 4.6L OE Rocker Arms
I ordered rocker arms for my '03 DII and was sent cast aluminum for the left side and what appears to be cast iron for the right side. What was used on the '03-'04 4.6L's?

That's what I was thinking; 4.0 and 4.6L being aluminum and perhaps the earlier 3.9 and 4.2L using cast iron. Not comfortable with mixing these, due to the weight difference in the valvetrain.

I don't see how weights will make any difference. It's not like this is part of the rotating mass. Just my opinion.

Try to get them to replace them all with steel. The aluminum ones have little steel caps pressed into them where they meet the pushrods
