Two quick 1275 assembly questions...

["Kurtis" <tr4driver@gmail.com>]

I'm ready to install my pistons in my 1275 engine (I think).  My Haynes 
manual seems to imply that the crank should be installed prior to installing 
the pistons.  Is there any reason I can't install the pistons first, then 
the crank?

Also, which way should the connecting rods face?  Dumb me forgot to note how 
they were oriented when I took it apart.  One side is fairly flush with the 
big end, and the other side is offset in a little from the face of the big 
end.  Which side should face the front of the engine?

Thanks!
