reet, just building up my ZETEC turbo motor...

just nailed the crank in the block

and was then gonna put the pistons on the rods

and then got a little stuck lol

the pistons (wiseco) have a little dint in the them as they have an offset pin, this points to the timing belt end - i know that much lol

but the rods (carrillo), well, they dont have the usual 1,2,3,4 stamped on them which hains says must face the exhaust side...

they all have 2 stamped on one side, and i guess the part no. on the other.

sooooooooo, should the rods go on the crank with the little cutouts for the tab bits on the big end bearing to locate in, on the exhaust side, or inlet side????

doh

as they were one offs, i gave the pistons and rods to wiseco and never got them back so cant check

help please

 

come on, someone answer, i dont wanna fookin sit here all night lol

 

echo...... echo.............. echoooooooooooooo

up

 

anyone??

it dont even show a decent pic in the haines manual lol

maybe a few pics will help?

pistons with offset pin, dint in topo points to timimg belt end.



rods, you see the little grooves for locating the big end bearings, should this face the front of the block, or rear?



ta

 

Seeing as they are one off rods, it probably makes fook all difference.

 

yeah, but that little groves, isnt that where the oil to lube the bearings comes from??

there is a hole in the crank that is offset to the front (exhasut side)

can someone give me a defintae answer by about 4pm please as i want to nail em in tonight lol

 

depends on your shells, but probably either way around is the same

 

The little grooves are just for the shells to sit in.


Try putting two rods side by side and then turn one over, if they are still exactly the same (ie nothing offset) then it makes no difference, so just pick a way and put them in.

 

cheers guys, couldnt see and differences, but found a pic of a std zetec rod so have put the pistons on the same as that
