Evo pistons facing to...?

[danymuck]

Hi!

I have ordered a Evo IX pistons, rings, rods for my 7bolt 2G. What facing I have to fit them?

BTW.... Sorry for my horrible english

If there is a dot or arrow on top put it towards the timing belt side.

Anyone who has fitted Evo pistons in your engine?

I have some, they go dot toward the timing side. There are other threads on here about it if you search. When people first started using them they thought they should be turned the other way for valve clearance but its not necessary because the evo pistons sit lower at TDC. If you turn them the wrong way you will change the wrist pin offset.
