Hi, just a quick question about the needle bearing installation on the small end of the connecting rod. The original needle bearings have a cage that holds them in place. The bearings that come with this rebuild kit have 33 needle bearings and two metal washers with a shoulder on one side. My question is which way should the washers face? Should the flat side of the washer face the needle bearings? Thankyou for your help.....Bob

No! The machined shank on the washer goes into the rod, and against the needles
