After a piston change

[pablosan]

Does it matter which rods go where in the 3.0 3vze ? One was burned up so its replaced as well as new pistons. I lost track of the order. They are all the same right?

I'm pretty sure that they're directional, best to check one in the same bank and make sure your bearing tang is in the same direction and that the piston front is correct

The pistons are marked pretty well. The rods I'm not sure of ( at the shop ). Guess I'll take a look at them before I have them pressed to the pistons. I guess I was just wondering if there are left and right rods or they are the same.

Also do I need to have them balanced weight wise ?

Again 3.0 6cyl 3vze

The rods will always be the same, they will just be put on the piston with the bearing tang towards the inside or outside of the engine, depending on if there is an oil hole.

And no, you don't need to balance them
