    There are casting bulges on the front face of the rod, and theres a notch in the front of the piston. Not sure which side the bearing tangs belong, but they belong on the same side. Just look to see which side of the rod has more casting on it.

    She is sorted,

    Looking from the top to the front the oil squirter hole faces the right of the engine.
