ABA engine assembly questions...

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Soo...I'm putting this engine-in-a-box together for Big Mac, but have a
few Q's (I didn't take it apart(:

-The main bearing shells (block half) consist of 4 shells with no
groove and one with a groove.  The block-half shells that came out are
grooveless...is the bearing set wrong  - or - where do I put the
grooved shell half?  (FWIW, from Bentley, #1 main is the only one that
doesn't have an oil galley feeding a rod bearing).

-Pistons - which way is right?  (These are presently disconnected from
the rods.)  If I hold the piston with the wrist pin vertically (that's
up-and-down for dummies), the stamped numbers 82.485 and below that, an
R, in the center of the lower half are readable.   Still holding it
that way, there's a horizontal line in the lower left.  In the upper
right, about 2:00, is an arrow point to the upper left with a 495 below
it.  

I can install them so that the 82.485 is read viewed from the flywheel
or the timing belt.  Which is right? 

Thanks

Ron
