Rb30 Conrods

[Gts4RB30]

I have new spool rods going in my beast, and as they don't have a forward mark on them i know you have to make the tongue side go to the torque up stroke side but for the life of me i can't remember which side the bearing grove should be on??? drivers or passengers side

[XKLABA]

the motor spins clockwise so when you look at it from the front the crank should want to spin the bigend bearing tongue into the grove against the other half of the conrod, one on each side

ta but the rods torque tongue is on the same side i pulled the ones outta my old 20 to find out last night, anyone know of where i can get new cp rings for sale??? one was broken in the box so now i need a new set.

[r32-25t]

Any one who sells cp pistons can get the rings in for you

Happy to be corrected, but if they dont have markings, then they can ge either way. Im certain the tongues are there to assist assembly, crush holds the bearing

Unless they have piston squirtes on the side of the rod

thanks guys found out the groves go to the drivers side of the engine, appears all rb engines the same, went to a mate wreckers and we pulled a few down that were fked just to check, secondly with the r32 balancer albeit that everything is balanced now what is the safest power lvl i should push the thing to keeping in mind the revs aswell???
