case 211 connecting rod squirt holes?

gingintn · May 15, 2017

I took my pan off...some of them pointed one way and some pointed the other way so I don't know.

I believe they should point at cam or bottom of pistons.

Dave is correct. I will add that if the pistons were put on the rods incorrectly, they might need to be reversed. Mark on the top forward. Squirt to cam. Jim

What about bearing notches? Do they go together or opposite? I found some of them different. What have I gotten myself into?

hould not be aligned. No matter which way the inserts might try to rotate in the rod, their notch should encounter the rod such as to prevent rotation.

If the bearing notches are mixed up, the caps have been put on backward, who knows if they are even on the right rods.

For safety sake and peace of mind, have the rods reconditioned and new wrist pin bushings fitted.

It's not that expensive considering the alternative.

I'm thinking there's more to this story? Whatch ya got the pan off for?

Are the rods and caps ground and stamped with number and did they align when you took them off, they should.
