SBC Rods and Pistons Orientation and Piston Orientation in Block

Quick video on understanding SBC Rods and Pistons Orientation and Piston Orientation in Block and the importance of valve reliefs in the pistons, especially how they install per cylinder. Installing rods on pistons is not foolproof as they are directional. Piston orientation is critical, especially with dome pistons and radical cams with tight valve to piston clearances. Rods shown in video are 6.0" Callies Ultra H-Beam small journal and Pistons are JE Hollow Dome 4.155. The pistons in this video are from a previous build naturally aspirated SBC drag motor.

This new build is a SBC Gen1 Boosted - SBC 406 Dart SHP block with Callies crank, Callies rods, and custom Diamond Pistons with a 8-71 Roots Blower from The Blower Shop with helical rotors, ATI turbo 400 and 4-link coilover Ford 9 inch. Planning on starting with 22 lbs of boost on methanol with a FuelTech ECU.
