Rods and Piston Question

[Yoda]

I have cp piston and wanted to know.. what side does those little eye brows on top should be facing. The exhaust side or intake side. The same question for the Bearing Tangs.
Help:biggrin:

[Golddeenoh]

isn't the intake valve larger than the exhaust meaning that it stands the highest chance of kissing the pistons, so I would assume that they should be on the intake side unless for some reason toyota makes their exhaust valves receive more open than the intake, but normally speaking it would be the intake side.

[Yoda]

Yea i am not too sure I might have to pull out the manual...If I can remember where I put the darn thing.

[Yoda]

Ok so for the Pistons they face on the Intake side. No info on the Bearing Tangs tho.

[Golddeenoh]

should be a dot, arrow, or something designating the direction to aim the piston to the front of the engine.

Looks like the exhaust side in the Toyota manual.

[Yoda]

Thx it is the exhaust side for the Tangs. Time to slap this thing together.

[scioncrew]

Bearing Tangs face to the exhaust side
piston to valve relieves face to the intake side
