Guys,
I was gonna go with a set of Eagle SIR I-Beams, but a friend warned me against them. He said he bought them for his 318 Chrysler small block and he returned them because he couldn't tell how to use them. That is, he didn't see any oil holes or any markings on the rods to determine the placement of the rods in reference to the pistons and the block. Unfortunately, I couldn't help him before he sent them back.
Can anybody clarify his problem? There should be a way to tell if you had them reversed (or doesn't it matter)?

The tabs on the bearings face the out side. The little hole on the opposite side of the bearing is supposed to squirt oil on the opposite cylinder. There is supposed to be a small notch or hole on the rod cap for the oil. It looks like a groove on a stock rod. If you are using floating pins, the pistons have to have grooves in them to hold retaining rings. Otherwise the wrist pins will hit the cylinder walls.Dan
