Couple quick questions - piston install
Couple questions:
I don't have the heads with me to check so I'm using my MK4 as a reference but it appears the relief for the intake valve in the piston is towards the rear on the 1/3/5/7 side and towards the front of the engine on the 2/4/6/8 side. Can someone confirm for me that is the case on the gen 6 as well??
Second - my connecting rods don't appear to have a chamfer on either side. Can anyone confirm that is the case with stock 502 rods?
As I said before, I've got plenty of more dumb questions to go....

Not taken wrong mike. I am following a couple books and read front to back a couple times before starting and taking it real slow. That's why all the questions. Just going to need some support from you guys along the way......
