Hi i have a Hepolite high compression piston used on a Meteor being fitted to my 350 bullet iron barrel , the exsisting indian piston is split skirted at the front , nothing marked on the Hepolite metor piston or a split at front . Can Hepolite be fitted either way round ?

If the crown is machined for valve clearance, are both slots the same size or is one cut-away larger than the other? That would be the inlet side, i.e. rear, but I suspect you'll tell me they're the same.

It doesn't matter which way round you fit one of those pistons.

[Daiwiskers]

Generally if there's no markings on piston it can fit either way

Chrome ring on top ring marked top goes in the centre with top mark facing up

[Daiwiskers]

Don't forget ring gap

Again generally 4tho per inch of bore will be about right

Thank you all the replies and all facts noted for the task ahead. Cheers ng
