YES! I just got home from work and I'm groggy so I can't give you details right now.

There is a mark on the piston that has to face the front of the engine and the rod has to go a certain way also. Do a search and make sure you do it right.

Good luck with your build!

pistons have a notch on the front and the rod has a bump on the front side just above the bottom journal

almost any type of manual would tell you that, if you're attempting to assemble an engine you NEED to buy a manual.

pretty easy to do, make sure same rods go in same spot they came from,a nd pistons go in facing right way. Lightly grease bearings before install. Its pretty striaghtforward
