What should be done with the connecting rod after the cylinder and piston are removed?
After the removal of a cylinder and piston, the connecting rod must be supported to prevent damage to the rod and crankcase. This can be done by supporting each connecting rod with the removed cylinder base oil seal ring looped around the rod and cylinder base studs.
Which is the right side of a piston rod to use?
If the big end of the connecting rod features a larger chamfer on one side, this side must be installed facing the crankshaft’s journal radius fillet. If the rods are designed for use on a crank that does not feature a radiused fillet, the rods may not feature a large chamfer on one side.
What does the are stand for on a piston?
Pistons intended for the right bank will feature an “R” suffix. A larger chamfered oil hole at the top of the small end on some rod designs provides a “funnel” for improved oil reservoir for floating pin lubrication. An oil squirt hole at the rod small end serves to provide lubrication to the wrist pin. A view of a small end
What does the Arrow mean on an asymmetric piston?
Asymmetric pistons may also feature an arrow that indicates piston orientation relative to the front of the engine. This provides a handy visual aid in installing the pistons so that the major thrust side skirt faces the major thrust load within the cylinder bore.
How are pistons installed in a clockwise rotation engine?
viewed from the front of the engine), rods are installed similar to a clockwise rotation engine, where the larger chamfer side of the big end faces the fillet. However, if the pistons feature an offset pin, the piston must be installed “backwards” relative to installation in a clockwise engine.

Where are the bearings located on a piston?
Rod orientation can then be obtained by orienting rod with its bearing tang grooves biased toward the pan rail (outside) or cam side (inside). For example, SBC and BBC bearings tangs are positioned toward the outside (toward the pan rails). Other designs may specify that the tangs are located to the inside.
