Default Tomahawk Rod Installation - How Oriented?
Fellas -

I'm assuming there is a right and wrong way to install the Tomahawk H-beam rods, but not sure what it is. The rods are chamfered on both sides, so that doesn't help. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Scott

Mine had more chamfer on one side and if I remember correctly the bearings set more to one side so that wider side went to the crank side. Rod

Yes, once installed, the bearings do set more to one side.

Thanks
