which way does the piston rods go???

[peter møller]

I didn´t take my 7afe apart myself, which now is kinda stupid, since i am the one putting it back together.

I noticed the lubrication hole on the piston rod, but have no clue, which way it goes when mounting relatively to the piston itself. Should it be on the exhaust valve side of the piston, or the intake side?

Also, the rods are marked 2-2-3-3, but are there any specific placement for them.

Thanks.....

On my old pistons, the oil hole in the rod is aimed towards the side of the piston that has numbering on it (if you look at the side where the wristpin goes through, one side has text, toyota and something else, the other end has numbers on it). Cant help you out with the order of placement, have a look in the manual.

Hey Ivan....
The wristpin goes through the side of the piston, but the lube hole is on the front(or rear?) of the rod.If you look at the piston from the top (which by the way is a smallport high comp piston) the lube hole in the rod, can only point towards the exhaust valve side OR the intake valve side....does this make sense at all

Ive ordered a haynes manual, but it might take as much as 2 weeks for it to arrive
