Yes!, finally building my block. I have done a search of which way does the eagle forged rods go. I found that the je pistons go with the je emblem towards the exhaust side, but nothing on the rods. They have a number on one side and letters on the other. Can someone tell me how or should I call the manufacturer?

Thanks

Doesn't matter. I usually put them all in the same direction though, regardless of which direction I choose.

Finished the engine on the weekend. I install the rods using the same direction of the stock rods bearings notch. Also, I was a little scare because of the piston slap. I did a search and everybody was suggesting 0.0040" for piston-to-wall clearance. Then I read the instructions and they talk about an extra 0.001" for turbocharged engine. Well I went with 0.0055" for piston-to-wall clearance. Guess what?, everything is OK. The piston slap goes after the engine warms up. And is not that audible or irritating.
Now the only thing that I need to buy now is the knock sensor. It broke during installation of engine.

I installed the rods with the notches on the exhaust side.

Also, I used a perfect 0.0040 clearance. But remember that's 0.0020 on each side... ;)

You should be ok with the 0.0055 but it is a little on the high side.
What ring end gap did you use?

yes everyone pls share their ring gaps.
