con rod/piston assembly ?
i have aftermarket eagle rods and srp pistons and i was wondering how you know which way they go in, they have stamps on them but i have no idea which way they go into the cylinder. figured i would ask here, any info on it would be great

just remember the tangs on the big end of the rod face the lifter bore on a ford. And you cant put the pistons on backwards knowingly, they only have 2 valve reliefs and those are up, towards the lifter valley.

+1 mrj46.. if you look at the rod you will see one side of the rod has a chamfer cut into it.. that's the radius that side go's toward the crank throw. BUT wait what kind of crank and rods you running???? forged internals call for a different bearing so they do not contact the crank at the radius.

ok i looked at the rods today, and i couldnt figure out what the chamfer is, they looked identical on both sides, one side has stamped in it a 5 digit number, the other has s7 on the rod and 02 on the cap on every rod, so i dont think the numbers have anything to do with it, they are eagle cast i beams for a 408w. any help? i would like to get this thing together
Thanks!
Thanks!
