lt1 assembly question
lt1 assembly question ok heres my issue, i read in a book i have that the lt1/sbc connecting rods need to face a certain direction with the "dotted/flat side of the caps" in relation to the block, ie on one bank it is supposed to face the front and one bank the rear.
I am trying to verify this, and i cant even find my book for the info currently

Yes but why waste the time of placing them into the cylinder just to take them out and turn them around, thats how nick or othere accdents happen. Are your pistons already mounted on the rods yet or do you have the tool to do it? if the pistons are already mounted on the rods then just make sure the arrow is pointed forward
yeah, I forgot the proper orientation for the dot facing since its been awhile since I had a rotating assembly infront of me but I did remember that fact so I figured it might be worth mentioning lol
yea if its together chances are its right lol..........the rods have two different sides if you look closely....ones flat and one is chamfered for the side of the crank........
