Connecting Rod + Piston to the engine block and=20
Crankshaft , Could you please figure it out ?,
Because I confuse when I read the TM-803? published
by Potrayal Press and the mechanic's argument (who is
repairing my MB engine right now and he have experienced
with the jeep engine about 40 Years)
The Mechanic state that all the piston with the T -Slot side=20
and the oil squirt hole on the connecting rod are facing=20
to the valve side (righthand side from front view of the
engine.) He said that he experienced disassembly new
engine
The TM's state that all the piston with the T-Slot facing to the=20
Valve side but all of the oil squirt hole are facing opposite.
Which one is correct ?
Having too much time on my hands yesterday, and wanting to make sure I had
installed my pistons/rods correctly, I removed one to check. I re-installed
it with the oil squirt hole facing towards the camshaft to see if it would
fit. It does, but I noticed that when installed this way the wrist pin is no
longer centered in the piston. The rod is way off to one side. This would be
another way to check that your rods are installed correctly.
