The gears should have a punch mark or something to that effect that should be lined up.

Assemble the Block
Install the piston on the rod. There is an arrow on the top of the piston that points to the flywheel side of the engine. This ensures proper alignment. Insert the wrist pin and the retainer. The wrist pin will only go in from one side.
TIP: Use plenty of oil on each part you install.
Install the rings on the piston. Put the oil ring, scraper ring and compression ring on the piston with the oil ring at the bottom. Then slide the piston into the cylinder bore, using the ring compressor tool. Be careful not to damage the cylinder walls.
Remove the rod cap. Install the crankshaft. Attach the rod with the bearing insert to the crankshaft. There is a ROD TORQUE requirement in the package with your new rod. Torque the bolts. Normally the torque is 150 inch pounds.
Install the camshaft and lifters. Use lots of oil. Make sure the timing mark on the crankshaft lines up with the timing mark on the camshaft.
The last step before putting on the side cover is to make sure every thing is clean. No dust, dirt, or metal shavings.
Insert the side cover and gasket on the engine. Make sure the crankshaft turns freely and easily. Install the side cover bolts torque to 100 inch pounds. Studs may be used to replace the side cover bolts.
