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

Yes, the valves angle upwards, so you're upside down. These are aftermarket pistons intended for cams with more than stock lift. Both intake & exhaust are side by side, not hemi like as in Porsche 6 cylinder heads
