Very good pointer about numbering the rods 70oldsW30! I've always done it. For what it's worth, I bought a set of stamps at Harbor Freight last summer. They're 1/8", work great & were only $5-10. (Can't remember)

And the part about numbering individual rods on the side towards the outside of the block is like a second tip. It's easier to stamp the rods this way. Plus, as you stated, helps get everything back together correctly.

I've yet to rebuild an Olds motor. But on others I generally stamp the #2, 3 & 4 main caps and block. The front and rears only go one way.
