Show me a picture, As I see it, all the bearing tabs where it goes in to the rod and cap face towards the exhaust side, opposite that is the letters IN, which I know face the Intake side.

Yeah, but they are made of cryptonite and can handle 3000hp and 2500psi because of a special metalurology that has enhanced the metal. Mega horsepower. Not too mention they sit lower than the stock Honda pistons and we all know low profile tires are better so low profile pistons must be too.

Who needs compression?

If you think you know which way they go in, why did you make a post?

Re: I forgot which way the rod goes.

oil hole goes twards the intake side

as for the cap.... look at the # on the end if the rod/cap and make them match up

Re: I forgot which way the rod goes.

The reason there is controversy about the way the vitara pistons go in is because Hondas spin backwards unlike suzukis so the major thrust surface is going to be different in the motor. I am wondering which way to install them, have to ask FJT. What's with all the vitara hating, if you don't like them don't use them.
