Is flipping the piston / rod assembly the easy way out or are the rods machined to turn / load for a given direction.

If I go that far then I might should ball hone / new std. pistons / rings / and std. bearings ~ flipping 125k pistons from hole to hole scares me.

Looks like either way ~ as long as I'm playing with junk it is like playing russian roulette.
Adventually somthing is gonna go B A N G !!!!!!
