My GF's stepdad has build many a dirt track motors over the years so hes helpng me build it some....We came to the same conclusion, and yes i did/will put the "f" toward the front of the motor.
The rods do have a certain way they go in. If there not put in right you will be pulling the motor again. The rod has 2 different radius' on the big end. Thats why the rod cap has a bit of a bump type thing on one side. That bump has to be facing the rear of the motor when installed.

rock on...someone on gmsc.net told me that the GM with the circle on it has to be facing the front...the bumps are the opposite direction and that happens to be the way i put the rods on the correct facing pistons....so...thanks...were all good...

then put some of the $20 for 5 oz GM sealant in the ridge thingy and dropped the bedplate back on. Torqued the studcaps to 65ft lbs and the ext bolts to 20.

Harbor Freight/Northern is great if you don't mind Chinese manufactured products. I have bought a lot of tools there, and never had too many problems. If you need a tool only a few times a year, and aren't going to be using it every day, or every week, they are fine. If you are buying a tool that will be used a lot, go ahead and spend the $ on USA made quality.
Yes i have seen the spark plug reference but im still not clear on spark plugs for my redline.
Basically i have a 2005 STOCK redline. with 50,000 miles

My '04 RL (no slip) is putting 230-240 to the wheels after a few parts, full exhaust and tune to 15PSI. If I'm not light on launches it's wheel hop city! So how do I fix it? I've heard new control arm bushings, would that do the trick for me or is it just a quirk of the car that doesn't have a...
