I'm gonna throw some confusion your way. Those who have worked with these engines will know what I mean.

that rod has 2 holes. One has no consequence of pointing it a certain way, this is a hole in the rod beam that is only there to indicate that it is a 10 under rod. The important one will be on any Kohler k series rod , no matter whether standard or undersize
This is the important one, if you want the engine to last. It is in the rod bearing cap. That one HAS to be towards the cam. And yeah, being it (is supposed to) point that direction, you should be able to see it with the cam cover off, you might have to spin the crank it by hand to get it into such a position where it can be seen.
I know what it's like to have those 3 AM "oh, $#1t" moments where I snap up from a dead sleep because of having thoughts of " Oh man, did I do.....…......." and then not be able to fall asleep again because it eats at me...
