the front. just which one are you trying to say is wrong?

   Well, got the head off and what do I find, the reliefs for the valves are on the front of the
pistons. I happen to glance at the reliefs on the pistons in my beast block... in the back. ARGH!

So, here's my question. Can I simply pull the pan, the rod caps, and turn the rods (and pistons)
180* so that they are facing the right way? Or do I have to pull the pistons out and off the rods,
turn the pistons 180*, then remount everything back into the block?

This is a 1.8 16v block, bored to 83mm, and stroked to 92.8 (2L crank). The block has been
clearanced for the stroke.

Thanks guys.

Joshua
