Barrels and pistons
Do barrels and pistons have a front and rear designation? I can see where the heads are marked 'front and rear' and I can see where the pistons have an arrow pointing forward at the top. However, I can't see any mark on the barrels or pistons for 'front and rear'.
I bought a set of take-offs that are basically new that I am installing, but I want to make sure I don't screw them up.
Thanks

You have to put the barrels on so the intake and push rods are on the right side of the motor. And make sure the intake valve relief is facing the intake. I don't follow what the problem is.

Correct answer. They are the same front and rear (as long as the piston arrow points forward. And I'm pretty sure the valve pockets are the same size too, at least on most pistons we come across. More aggressive builds will have different sized pockets to accommodate larger valves/higher lifts, but that doesn't sound like an issue to you at this point.
