Okay...this is probably a "no-brainer" to some of you, but it's the first time I've installed forged, performance pistons that don't have a "front" marked on them so I just want to make sure I get this right the first time. The sprial lock wrist pin retainers are are such a challenge, I only want to do it once.

Below is a picture which I think is the correct orientation, with the curved part of the piston valve pocket facing the reliefs in the block. Is this right?

The valve pockets will be on the valley side of the block.  As pictured, the pistons are upside down.

Well...I had a 50/50 chance of getting it rightWink. Thanks Ted for correcting me before I went too far.
