Scat 6125 I-Beam Orientation
Scat 6125 I-Beam Orientation Hello,
I am in the beginning stages of assembling an iron 5.3 shortblock. I have a set of Scat 6125 I-Beam rods. They appear to be symmetrical on both sides of the rod with no distinguishing marks other then one side of the rod being stamped with a dimple and part number. I was curious if anyone has installed these particular rods and what the orientation may be? I have tried researching several boards and have not found much definitive information on the Scat rod in particular.

It's just like any other rod. If it's a stock crank, then it doesn't matter. If it's an aftermarket crank with a radius on the journals, then the chamfer side of the big end needs to be facing the radius.
