HD 260 Continental

[54robbie]

I am rebuilding an hd260 continental engine but I didn't pay attention to which way the pistons go on the rod. Arrow on the piston shows front but does the numbers on the rod face the camshaft?

I have a 226 Continental apart right now and numbers faced camshaft on that engine. Been a bit since I had a 260 apart.

If the rods have an oil spit hole the hole should spray on the thrust/load side of the sleeve, meaning the right side as sitting in the driver seat.
