Question about rebuilding a Mazda UA engine

Hello, I received a partially rebuilt (but still disassembled) Mazda UA engine for a Yale Forklift. I wonder if anyone here knows the correct orientation of the connecting rods in this engine? Looking at it, it looks as if the bearing caps would face the camshaft, but I am not 100% sure.

Hopefully someone can help, as I am in the Bahamas, so I cant really get to a dealer for a manual, easily.

Thanks for any help!

Ok, I will have to look and see, if that is the case, then the rod caps would be opposite the cam.

If there is oil holes in rod they almost always point at cam side of engine ?
