I recently majored a 318 Perkins diesel. When I tore it down, the numbers on the caps were facing the pump, or left side of the engine. The IT manual states in no less than 3 places to assemble with the numbers on the rod caps facing the camshaft, or right side of the engine. This tractor had been overhauled once before, porbably 10 years before I recieved it. There is no offset in the rods with relationship to the wrist pin or thrust surface of the piston skirt, and no major chamfer on either side of the crank-pin end, both sides equal chamfer. They look symetrical side to side. Just orientation numbers stamped on each rod and cap. After I finished this job, about a month later, I was looking through another diesel manual where it states to install rods on 318 Perkins with numbers oriented to the pump side of the engine! There is a total of 6700 hrs on this old beater, and about 500 on my overhaul. I have quit worrying about it.
I have begun to wonder though about the info you recieve in some of these manuals. It's kind of like the guys I called to ask about this situation, everyone had a different opinion and no one really knew! It goes to show, examine each component carefully as it comes apart and it's relationship to the others as it goes back together. I like to hear from others who have seen this one before cause it's the only way I can learn. Tom S.
