Hi all,

Starting a build and when assembling rods onto the crank, I know you put the raised marker on the rod facing up, but...

I am using a set of H-Beam chevy journal rods and there are no raised markers!

Can anyone please tell me how I tell which way to assemble the rod onto the crank?

Many thanks, Marc.

the VW rods are off set so thats why they are marked

With the chev rods i think you will find they are not off set so it wont matter

You could fit them with the rod matching numbers up if you want

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Thanks so much for the help.

Yep, no offset so I'm just making sure all the numbers match up.

Cheers, Marc.
