Which way to install bearings?
I am installing new bearings, and there is a notch on the side of the connecting rod, and there is a notch on the end of the connecting rod. The notch is a spot where the bearing slides into, I am assuming to keep it in place. When I reassemble this do I line up the notches, or do I have them on opposite sides?

Maybe next time you will do a little more research before attempting something like this again. You could have gone and picked out any engine building book at a local bookstore and it would have told you to number the caps and rods so that you don't run into this problem, or get the caps mixed up and put on the wrong rods.
