Need to check with the engine builder who put the pistons on the rods but 3 of the pistons have the writing towards the engine number side of the block and one the opposite way round, other than that I think it went fairly smoothly.

 

One or three of those pistons are installed wrong !!

 

The writing should include "Front" or a little arrow to denote which way the piston should be facing (towards the water pump end).
While some poo-poo thrust direction, pistons do have a front and a back...

The pistons are not offset so will not make any differnce. Checked with several sources although from an OCD view it would have been nice if the writing was all at the front

There is no arrow or front on them. Only the nural logo which is a triangle but points side to side

Thanks for letting me know though
