The rod that bearing came from was definitely installed the right way because it was one of my factory rods and it was never taken out of the piston. So it went back in the same way because I put the piston in so that the valve reliefs were facing correct. The only one that could possibly in backwards is my #4 rod because it is new and there is a possibility the machine shop pressed it in backwards but I doubt that. I'll probably pull the rest of the bearings today and check.

I did use a lot of assembly lube on all the bearings. It could possibly be from that oil loss on the highway, it could also be from the time my oil pressure light was going on. At one point when I started the car the oil pressure light was flickering on and off. I didn't let it run for long. I couldn't figure out what it was so I dropped the pan and took the new pump out to check and make sure it was still in spec. When I put it back in and tightened everything down it never did it again. This was before I had my oil pressure gauge, only had the dummy light. I am getting the feeling that maybe by the time that dummy light comes on, your screwed.

Ah well.
