360 wristpin oilers

I got my rods back with new pistons on 'em, but if I orient the dots on
the piston top to face the front of the engine then the oil notches on the
rods face downward throughout the complete rotation of the crank (rather
than towards the wristpins). That can't be right, can it? I seem to recall
being able to read the stamped numbers on the unnotched side of the cap
instead of them always being on the darkside of the moon like they are ..
it's been a while so I can't be sure anymore.

Yup, that's why I like Fords, number one's on the "right" then
numbered in order, rather than flippin' all over the place:

I assume "wristpin" is what we call gudgeon pins over this side of the pond
? (connects the con rod to the piston)

Gudgeon:

1. Pivot, journal.
2. A socket for a rudder pintle.
3. A small European fresh water fish (Gobio gobio) related to the carps and
often used for food or bait.

French: taquiner le goujon, to do a bit of fishing.

One learns something every day.

This fellow needs to talk to his machinist, who installed the pistons, and
explain his concerns.

Does he have bees in his bonnet?

I was at the garage one day when a nice English lady stopped by and said she
needed her daughter's hooters looked at...
