Hello,

perhapse a stupid question but can you fit a piston wrong way round on a conrod???

The pistons a have are modified so it's difficult to see any marking om the inside or top *oh well*

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

On small bore pistons yes, big bore no.

998 cooper pistons wouldn't work well if in backwards.

Depends on piston to block height on the 998 Cooper D pistons. Ask me why I know *wink*

On std 998 pistons, the pistons have got a slot for oil. They would work bacwards as well, but the slot would be on the wrong side, probably leading to uh erm nothing :)

Not sure if the wrist pin is in centre on these... Most likely.
