So I asked this already on WG while this board was down, so apologies to all who frequent both boards. However I thought the scatter gun approach was worth a try
Stripping down an 1100 enigne and had difficulites getting of the big end cap bolts. Which I did get off but it ended in the rods dropping out before I had time to note the rod orientation
One side of the rods have a painted mark on them on the rod neck. One side of the big end caps have a number scribed on them and both sides are machined. The eminent Dr Roper (God Bless him) and Triple Jim suggested machined side to the right, but nothing conclusive so I was wondering if anybody on here has stripped one and definitively knows the answer about which way around is correct.
Numbered side to the right showing the scribed numbers, note its machined
Other side rods to the left, note it is also machined
Rods held up as they would be in position in the crankcase, note the painted marks
Anybody help???
Many Thanks
John
