5 GT Turbo Connecting rods and pistons orientation (c1j turbo)

[itzik]

Hi all,

Does the connecting rods and pistons have orientation? Front/back/Flyw etc.?

I am rebuilding the engine, I found some Marks but nothing about direction.

TIA

They can go in either way without issue as the gudgeon pin is not offset. Originally, arrows to the flywheel.

This but make sure the bearing cap is the right way, they are orientated with the rod.

Yes, I saw the markings (dots) on both parts, also I found old renault engine manual saying that on the c1j 70-88 series there is no ortientaion.

Thank you
