The welding on my 440 stocker engine is on the piston side of the rod. If the rod parting line would be 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock with 6 o’clock on the piston side. The most of the transfer of metal is between 3:30 and 4:30 on one side and between 8:30 and 7:30 on the other side, with very little if any at the 6:00 o’clock position. Rod and piston approx 1750 grams.
