Piston And Rod Orientation & Clearance Issues Etc.

[Grumpy]

I got a new set of pistons (H423DCP/H640DCP) and a "new to me" set of OEM rods. The rods are numbered by cylinder, but the pistons aren't, and the dot is supposed to go toward the front of the block. I just put a rod on backward, so can it be interchanged with another cylinder on the opposite side so the chamfer is on the right side? I was reading another thread somewhere else that said the stock pistons could go in any cylinder, but I don't know about these.

you should take the time to read through these threads,
and sub links
look over the pictures carefully
