Hello , yes the connecting rods go with the thinner part that is where the mold halves come together towards the front of the engine as well as the piston marking , both forward . Just so You understand what I'm trying to explain in words , the other side of the rods is thicker and rounded or there are no sharp corners . If You have any questions don't hesitate to ask . Hope this helps and good luck .
