<VV> WANTED: Engine Oil Slinger

[Frank DuVal]

Just for information, as in things to check on unknown engines people 
have fooled around in, if you install an even number rod in an odd 
numbered cylinder, the numbers should NOT be visible. Same for odd 
number rods in even cylinders. So if they counted from the wrong end, 
possibly all rods with numbers not visible could be correct...

Partially disassembled, someone was trying to build it for a VW conversion. I found that the rods were mounted on the crank upside down, ( numbers on rods not showing.) , and notch on pistons facing the rear of the engine. Oh, and lets not forget the nicks on the rod journals from the connecting rod bolts.
