    4 pistons need to have the rods put on with the bevel facing the front of the block for the passenger side.
    4 pistons need to have the rods put on with the bevel facing the back of the block for the driver side.

    Which ones would you consider backwards?

    It's only backwards if you install the piston in the opposite bank for the orientation of the rod, with the dot facing the front.

    Couldn't be too bad, the first one in would have been sticking out the bore by about a half inch. :hmmm:
