GTR rod ?

[vabreaker20011]

Im about to put the pistons onto the rods but i was wondering if there is a front or back to the gtr rods? They look the same on both side (that face the crank) but the other sides are alil dif one side has a F stamped on it and the other is blank. im sorry if this has already been talked about. i just want to get this thing together.

thanks,

The stamps are on the side of the rods so you don't put the end cap on backwards. There is no front/back to the rods, only the pistons.

O yea one more? sorry!! what should i torque the rod bolts down to? they are stock gtr bolts

[redheddude222]

I don't know off hand, but if you're that far into the motor you need to pick up a service manual. You can get them at Auto Zone for like $20.

o i have one i was just wondering if the gtr rods was dif than the stock rods

[therieldeal]

they should be the same, i'm pretty sure the bolts are the same.

...but i'll stop being lazy and dig through my GTR supplement.

....

i cant find any engine related torque specs in there, so it should be the same as stock.

The letter faces towards the intake manifold. I think

Doesn't matter, as long as the cap matches the rod, they are perfectly symmetrical.
