Con Rod help please

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

Thanks so much for the help.

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

Cheers, Marc.
