Thanks for the info ill check it out.
Turn the rod sideways and look at the big end. You'll notice one side has had material removed so it's not symmetrical. That's two thinner sides face each other. The material has been removed because the flap of metal on the crank between journals push the rods apart.
..or you can use the ''tangs to the outside'' method
...or look at the big end weight. The corner bevel faces away from each other. If you find a pic of the engine with the pan off, that method will be obvious.
