Default made mistake when taking apart engine

Well I decided to take the motor apart for a good cleaning since it seen a good 5 gal allready. Ive read that its good to mark the con-rod so you can put it back in the way it came out. After the motor is fully disassembled it dawned on me that I missed that step.
My question is, how important is the orinatation of the Con-Rod? Ive rebuilt plenty of car motors, but this is my first major overhaul on a larger size plane motor. OS 60fx to be exact. Any help will be very much appreiated.
