As best I can remember, the offset is in the piston pin location to help prevent piston slap, not in rod, something about leverage. I vaguely remember that some stock class drag racers in the 60s used to install their pistons backwards on the small block Chevys (flat tops of course). This was supposed to raise peak HP to come in at a higher RPM. Not sure if it worked or not.

How about it CNC Dude, are you old enough to know about this?
