I looked at the better picture, How much side clearance do you have with the rods right now? Put a feeler gage between the 2 caps and give me a number, please.

All rod clearances matched the build sheet .018 to .020.

Hint: The front of the engine is to the right.

You got it.

1,2,3, and 4 were in the wrong holes.

5-6-7-8 were correct.

I see a few engines come through the shop labeled that way done by chevy builders. Label the front rod as no 1. It shouldn't matter if they are all the same size.

I would have expected if the first 4 banks were swapped the last 4 would have been as well.
