| The book is saying that the pinyon rod needs to be to the left of 2 piston and to the right of the other 2, I’ve never heard of this before and want to make sure I’m doing it correctly, the pin needs to be centered but the rod is offset or are they both offset? |

| Also piston #1 is the one closest to the radiator correct? |

#1 is at the radiator... #2 and #3 piston rods have the different offset ... if you put them all in the same way, the center two piston rods will drag. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

this is from the WD45 manual--- but similar ... problem is engine design with 3 main bearings and 1-2 between two bearings and 3-4 between the other two.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
