Stock rods?

[1986TR]

Question for the more experienced are the stock rods directional ? Can they be installed backwards?

 

[turbofabricator]

Yes, they ARE directional, and CAN be installed backwards. Being an off center engine, the rods have a .098" off set built into them, and MUST be installed correctly.

What is the correct direction of rods? Dots facing front /rear? Please advice thanks

The two dots go to the rear of engine on drivers side and to the front on passenger side.
