rods

i have a question about the rods. I tore the motor apart and i saw the rods and pistons. ok the beveled edge of the rod caps are facing towards eachother. i think i remember reading a post where it says that they are supposed to be facing away from eachother. is this correct and if they are on wrong could they effect oil pressure

Re: rods

The bearing tangs on the big end should all face the driver side. I don't think having this wrong would affect oil pressure, though.

Re: rods

It will cause piston slap and premature wear. chafered edge of the big end toward crank.
