iv got the pistons and rods laid out but am not sure how i had them turned when i took them out, and i need to know how they are turned to go in the right way.
thanks

There should be a notch on the top of the piston.That will go towards the front of the block.

also the connecting rod big end should have a flat side and a beveled side (not sure on spelling there but like a radius). the beveled side should be faceing the crank side inorder to clear the radius on it. the flat side should be against the connecting rod that it is sharing a journal with. then look at the dot on the piston. this goes to the front. if you got factory pistons they there is a left and right bank piston/rod assemble. if aftermarket with valve reliefs, they should all be assemble the same but correctly.
