I installed my new AA piston in my type 2 bus engine yesterday and was wondering if it matters how the pistons are oriented in the cylinders? I guess I have a 50/50 shot of getting it right! Any thoughts? Thanks

Since the pistons are clearanced for the valves, if you have it upside down the valves will hit the pistons. It has been over 30 years since I built an engine, but I'm pretty sure the valves are at the top of the head.
I will let others confirm. |
