I don't want to give you the wrong information, unless the "notch" is for valve relief, I would say it would go forward. As to the numbers, I would say towards the cam side. Better check that with someone who knows there. Regards, Charlie   [Reply]  [No Email]

The H motors isn't a high speed engine, and unless it was stuck and someone pounded the pistons out, I would say just put 'em back. But, depends on your level of perfection, and your wallet. When I install a rod and piston, I always turn the crank with a wrench, by hand, and feel for any binding, do it for each piston. Can also check the piston height with a dial indicator on a mount, to see if any are "short".   [Reply]  [No Email]
