Scat H beam Rod Installation
So...
Anyone know if the numbers go toward the roof of the case or the bottom? It kind of grinds my gears that the install instructions are mum on the issue.

Good question.
Here is the body of the email.
HI Jeff
Actually you don't go by the numbers, if you do it that way,
on one side they go up but on the other side they go down.
what you want to do, is put them on so the bearing tang grooves
go down, closest to the camshaft on both sides.

Re: Scat H beam Rod Installation
Resurrecting a old thread I was trying to find out this info for a Porsche 996 carrillo rod install, so I sent an email to Carrillo.
"Hi I have a porsche 996 and your rods from LN engineering I can't find any info on stock or aftermarket rod orientation, I don't believe they have an offset. Flat 6 boxer engine.
I'm actually am building two engines a 3.4 and a 3.6 your rod numbers PR-996>65708H-00 and the second set is PR-99603>65590H-00
Rod orientation do you reccomend bearing tangs down?
Or does it matter? "
Below is the reply.

Below is the reply.
So with Carrillo rods and no rod offset they say it doesn't matter.Hi Mark,
With these rods that have no offset, the orientation does not matter.

Re: Scat H beam Rod Installation
No offset, tell me why it would make a difference...other than to calm OCD tendencies
T1 stock rods are different they have an offset, bumps up.
Type 4 rods no offset, most porsche rods no offset, etc.
Best reason I've heard for tangs down, "so it doesn't freak out the next engine builder".
