225 long rod stroker, HELP

LOL, the point is made. They were offset exactly for the previously stated purpose, quiet operation, it may be "negligible" to us but not consumers who can be fussy. It
moves the rod to a slightly less favorable position, and it does increase the frictional drag, flipping them undoes both of these things. My '88 ShelbyZ rattles when it's
cold because the forged Mahle slugs are more neutral and require more clearance than the cast counterparts, and of course I don't mind, I know why. You can't have
it both ways, if the pin is offset to stabilize the piston, it does so by forcing it slightly to one side which automatically generates more friction. The degree and quantitative
values aren't known & documented by anyone other than the engineers developing & testing the subject engine. Why all the pissing matches about friction vs rod angle,
when it suffices to say an improvement in output can be achieved "undoing" this feature?
