Hmm, aftermarkets should have a mark too. Should face the front of the engine I believe. Any good engine builders pipe up? Been awhile since I did mine and I have to relearn each time The rods and caps should be marked also pointing to the front.

Mark told you correctly, to make it simple, cylinders 1,2,3,4 the valve relief point toward the front of the engine, and 5,6,7,8 they point to the rear.
