On the crank end of the piston rod there is a oil port on the rod.does this oil port point to the cam side of
the motor.
 

Good question... I always installed the squirt hole toward the cam then someone pointed out its spose to go to the other side... Its probably in the repair manual I just neber took time to look for it...

I installed them both ways never had a problem... YMMV...
 
Hobo is likely correct in 'don't matter'. My view is numbers toward cam, insert locker tabs opposite cam (but absolutely locker tabs of rod & cam same side), oil squirt hole will then be toward front of engine. Squirt hole is least important element & tabs together is highest importance.
 

CONNECTING RODS AND BEARINGS

Connecting rod bearings are slip-in precision shell type, held in position by
lock tabs which fit into cutouts in connecting rod and cap bore. Bearing wear is
corrected by installing new bearing shells which are made to close tolerances and
do not require final sizing. New inserts are available in Standard, .001, .002, .
005, .007, .010, .012 and .020 undersize. Connecting rods and bearings are the same
for all cylinders. Piston pin bushing in connecting rod is available in .729 Inside
Diameter. Bushing oil holes, located by holes in connecting rod, are drilled after
bushing is installed. Rods may be installed with oil squirt hole facing forward or
backward.

i'll second this. i'll confess to having lost track of their orientation during my rebuild, and my partner in crime didn't remember either :oops:

very happy to hear it doesn't matter. we did get the pistons in right, at least :)
 

Always mark the rod put your marks on it. I have always marked the cam side are the side the distributor is on. Believe me I have seen marks factory marks dispersal... The last engine built in my shop it happen it was a Toyota 1.6. When we took it apart the numbers were stamped plan as day once they were cleaned they were almost impossible to make out. I have seen this bite what I thought were seasoned mechanics I guess they somehow got lucky to make it this far...

Worst case the information is in the repair manuals I have bad habits TOO :!: Just because I took it apart that way does not mean that's the way it was specked... This may be why they run so fast in reverse :lol:
