I've made a silly error during the end of season engine bottom-end rebuild. :rolleyes:

 

Before removing them, I checked that all of the mains and big end caps were clearly numbered.  The orientation of the mains caps is easy due to the flywheel-facing 'darts' that are cast into the caps.  However, I failed to note the orientation of the big end caps.  Should the shell 'tangs' be on opposite sides of the journal, or both on the same side?  I have a view, but I don't want to 'lead the witness' so to speak.

Too easy - tang to tang, on the thrust side.

Thanks Peter, I assumed it would be as that is the same as the mains, but it is too important to guess.
