Ok, may be a stupid question, but this is my first Type 4 assembly, so bear with me:
Is it critical that the connecting rods be oriented a specific way on the crank? I've got the numbers matched (rod to cap) properly, but how critical is it for the numbers to point up when the crank is flat as Raby mentions in his video? I got turned around and realized I oriented at least one differently. In the Wilson book he seems to mention that Type 4 are symmetrical and don't really matter (whereas Type 1 etc. need to have the bump on the rod facing up). If it is critical, I suppose I need new rod bolts now that I've torqued them to spec? These are H-Beam. TIA. |

Up is toward the top of the case, if you lay the crank flat with 1/2 rods sticking out one side and 3/4 out the other like it would be once it's sitting in an upright case. But in my case I installed it vertical and missed the "proper" orientation on the crank.
