Re: Connecting Rod Alignment?

Scott,

I have some brand new pistons sitting in a box in the garage from Egge. The one you have shown above sure looks identical to mine.

When I disassemble my engine there where no shims on the rod caps. But I can't say if shims are required or not because my engine had been gone through at one time in its life. Some of the rods from my car have been replaced also at one point also. I say that because some of the numbers stamped on them don't match the cylinder it came out. Who ever reassembled it use dots instead.

I don't recall the rod alignment on my pistons but I will most defiantly watch for it now when I reassemble it.

Good luck with yours
