I'm having my LS rods pressed onto a set of PCT's and just want to make sure that EVERYTHING is assembled facing their respective directions...

I know that the TOPS of the Pistons have an Arrow and they are supposed to be facing or pointing towards the Crank Pulley...

But what about my rods??? One side has the Oil Passage hole on the Rod, and also the number that is stamped on them for Bearing codes.... What side are those supposed to be facing??? Front of Block or Back???

Thanks...

 

the numbers should be facing the front of the block. it shouldnt really matter cuz hopefully the machine shop put in the pistons on the rods correctly. so all u need to do now is follow the arrow on the piston

Thanks... I've used this machine shop before on other builds and they were great, I am just trying to Double check and that way I can have a better Momery for next time...

 

check the big ends of the rods. the bearing tangs should face the exhaust side, or your likely to have oil problems.

I'm assuming by "Tangs", you mean the Oil hole in the rod....

So, the Numbers and the "Tangs" face the Front (Exhaust side) of the Block....
