Wouldn't that actually be the front and back since they face the front and back of the engine?:D

>is that a Cloyes True Roller timing chain? so your going with an electric water pump?

On this page are some good photos showing I beams and H-beams. And also lower down on that page it shows which ones have block and cam clearance "built" in, (compares big end shapes).

As far as functional differences go, either cross section works fine if it's a good rod appropriately selected. The "S" shape rod or the "two piece" rod is to be avoided at all costs though!!

Is that a sample of your collection of expensive broken parts? :D

Re: difference between a I-H beam rod
 

I can tell what everything is here, but WTH is that blue bottle thingy? Vacuum canister? Do you always buy a bunch of new expensive parts that need to stay clean and then set them on the concrete outside? ;)
