The connecting rods are numbered one to four starting at the timing belt end. It is practically impossible to mix up the connecting rod bearing caps and connecting rods since the connecting rod bearing caps are broken away from the connecting rod during production. The fracture profile of a connecting rod bearing cap therefore only fits one of the connecting rods.
