Im currently rebuilding my 2WD sapphire engine. I have new pistons to fit to my old rods which have been fitted with new little end bushes. Now i need to know which way round do the rods face in the engine. The pistons have arrows on them which im guessing point towards the front of the engine but is there a certain way the rods have to face?

I remember when i did my old turbo engine years ago that the rods had a casting mark/nipple that had to point a certain way.

Can anyone help?

Cheers
