putting motor back together... got a question for people who have done this before.
ok so i am putting my new bult up motor back together.
i marked my connecting rods cylinder 1 2 3 4... i marked them all on one side so i would know what way the rods would have to be. but i accidentaly must have brake cleanered off the marking on the bloack and know i dont know. i already put the rods on the pistons but i am confused and not sure if they are backwards.
can anyone tell me what side the locks on the rod bearing should be facing... towards the exhaust cam/back of the motor. or towards the intake cam/front of them motor.
i figured you cant put the rods in backwards.... like most motors you cant. these rods are the same on both sides the only differance is where the rod bearings lock in...
bump need help fast...! sitting around with my thumb up my butt waiting for an answer!

should of invested in a punch set so you could leave a stamped indent on the rods with the corresponding number and then stamp a r or f on the front or rear of the rod...
