OEM rod orientation

[fooldog01]

I hope will be the last time I have to come begging for guidance during my rebuild.

I made the mistake of not marking the rods position before taking the pistons off so I need some help figuring out which way they go in. I have a handy pic below to show what I mean exactly.

So ultimately, the best way to answer my question I think would be to explain whether the "design" on the rod and cap would be facing the exhaust or intake side. I circled the area I am talking about because I have no clue how to describe it.

Thanks for the help guys!

Well, our rods don't have oil squirters, so I really don't think their orientation is crucial. However, I've heard that the side with the bearing notches faces the exhaust side of the engine (that's how I oriented all of my rods, at least). So, in your picture, the circled part faces the intake side.

Thank you so much. If it worked for you, its good enough for me I suppose!
