Ok today I was told by a “friend” I have installed my pistons and rods wrong . I installed them front to back in number sequence. He told me the rods get installed in firing order. Someone say it ain’t so thanks

When properly installed, the tangs on the rod caps that hold the rod bearings in place should all be pointed to the outside of the block.  Pistons may have a notch on the top. That notch goes to the front of the engine.

My advice would be to purchase a YBlock engine book before assembling your engine. I have an old dog eared copy by James Eickman that I have had for many years. The rings need to be properly staggered.  There may be instructions in the box with the rings.
