Bentley's is not clear as to position of rod bearing tabs. :eek:
Prior to removing the #4 rod bearing cap I noticed the number 66 scribed into each cap all orientated with the underline towards the accessary end of the engine.
The bearing insert tabs for both the bearing shell halves for the rod and bearing cap were on the same side.
Bentley's does not give a good identification or description of this positioning.:(

Anyone have a reason for the numbers scribed in each cap and the bearing tabs both on the same side of the rod?:confused:
