First... "the cap must be assembled to the rod so that the numbers are adjacent to each other. In other words, the cap must not be assembled with its number on the opposite side from the number on the rod." Second..."It is important, also to assemble the connecting rods to the crankshaft in such a manner that numbers stamped on the rods will be in the downward position when the engine is finally assembled." I also verified this with a Lyc tech sometime ago during an engine rebuild as well. Have a great time building. Take Care.
