I read that Subaru went with the offset rod caps for ease of assembly. I also read that this configuration put MORE stress on the rod bolts.
Maybe someone can clarify. |

Tilting the rod end adds shearing stress (across the bolt), so yes, it would seem that this layout is harder on the bolts. Depending on the angle, it could also put shearing stress on the bolts whether the force is from the crank pulling or the piston pushing.

This seems counter-intuitive. Can you please explain?
