JE Piston/Eagle Rod Orientation

[tec_41]

Here's a dumb question, but are JE pistons and Eagle rods symmetrical or must they be installed a certain way/direction? I don't have any paper work with my parts, and couldn't come up with specific info on JE's website...Thanks!

I know on my wiseco's they were but the rods aren't. Measure where the pin off set is and the smaller side has to face the back of the engine (towards the car cabin not towards the radiator) so when it spins clockwise the greater off set is in the front. The wiseco's were also marked which way was front (in relation to the oil pump) which also made this easier.

Also are they the new JE's that are asymmetrical? Because that would answer your question real fast. The larger skirt goes in the front facing the radiator and the small skirt goes in the back facing the cabin.

JE's site does say the pin is off set so the above info should help. anyother questions feel free to pm me.
