Yes the rods are facing the wrong way, to install them with the top of the piston facing the correct way the non chamfered end of the connecting rod would be against the radiused ( and in this case undercut ) part of the crankshaft. And the spit holes would be facing outward. My biggest worry right now is the shop that I took them to now is breaking the pistons or damaging the piston pin when they press them out to turn them around. I guess I should have had the rods bushed or gotten some Scat rods. Even those were pushing the budget too much. This is a perfect example of spending less money before to spend more money now. I feel dumb for not noticing the connecting rod orientation until we started blueprinting the motor. Also, as you mentioned, the chamfers on the rods seem to be different sizes from each other. I don't think that's a problem as long as they're big enough. The rods were resized. I've gotten advice from a number of you guys here saying that that tight number 2 main at .002" clearance and number one at .0021" is probably okay. We'll see what the rod bearing clearance is when I get them back.
