Hello RH2RACING Team, thanks for your video. I got a question about the rod orientation. Is there a need for orient the "noses" of rod bearings to one side of the engine Block? A lot of people suggest to orient them to the Intake side, in your video at 19:40 it looks like you are putting them to the exhaust side. I got confused about this Could you pls help me out?
As far as I know. It also depends on if you are building the motor for boost or not. When the engine heats up, and with boost it heats up a lot, the rings need to expand. If there isn't enough room to expand, bad things happen and will crack the piston and more.
Always interesting to see whats lurking inside and engine builders sour cream container.
always so satisfying watching an engine build. Will definitely reference this series then its time for my build!

rubber gloves are your friend when it comes to preventing oil and grease absorption into your system.

The rod caps, it’s the orientation of the bearing tangs both in the same side? Tang to tang? Cheers

Great video! Im about to build my own miata engine soon, does every ring set demands grinding?

Contact Leroy Engineering in Chardon Ohio about that. Tell him Rick sent you.
That piston ring grinder is nice, any product details on that ? Name, model number?
