The pdf attached by jbarr1 it describes piston installation on the second page. I think that is all you need to know.
PISTON INSTALLATION
2.) THE ARROW ON TOP OF A PISTON SHOULD POINT TOWARDS
EXHAUST SIDE OF CYLINDER AFTER INSTALLATION. PISTON TO
CYLINDER FIT IS CRITICAL. FOLLOW ADVISED CLEARANCES
GIVEN ABOVE FOR BEST RESULTS. ALWAYS USE NEW GASKETS
AND TORQUE CYLINDER HEAD TO MANUFACTURER'S
SPECIFICATIONS. IN SOME INSTANCES CYLINDER HEADS MAY
HAVE TO BE RE-TORQUED AFTER BREAK-IN TO INSURE PROPER
HEAD GASKET SEAL.
