hey i just noticed that 3 of 4 rods are installed one way and the other the opposite way. Do this matter seeing how the rods are suppose to be balanced and be installed ether way?
 
Wow man! I almost installed one of my Eagle rods backward too, but luckilly I noticed and corrected the problem before I put them in the block. Not sure if it matters much, but if your engine flies apart because of it well... I'm sure we would all like to hear how the experiment turns out.

If they aren't in the block yet, it should be pretty easy to pop a piston pin out and turn the rod around. They should be full floating.
 
I called eagle tech support and asked, he said on the 4G63 it was not a big deal, only thing you had to do was make sure the piston orientation was correct.

Cliffs:

Rods can face what ever way you want.
