Answer
 Hello Nickolas:

 The Connecting Rod should have the Letters OUT-1 of Cylinder # 1 and Faces Out from the Center of the Engine. The Dot on the Piston Should be Up when Looking at the Cylinder. You can View a Breakdown of this Engine at this Addy http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ and Click the B. Then Select Briggs and Stratton. Then Select Dont have Part Numbers. Then Select File # 30. Then Select Folder # 303400. This will Download a Breakdown/IPL of the ENgine. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
