Does it matter?
My second build is going ok. SBP shifter is in. This is a new 49cc slant head taiwanese engine. I took off the jug? (is that what you guys call it?) to look see what the ports were like. Dummy me never marked the piston. I cannot for the life of me see any reason it should go back in any particular orientation either way it looks the same. I have found references to marking the piston before removal and am now concerned I might put it in the wrong way.
I have searched in vain to find a previous thread about this but i am sure there is one.
Any ideas?

ps. I did figure out that the piston goes in so that the flat side of it goes up toward the spark plug. duh!
pss. The needle bearing is really sloppy by my guestimate. Is this normal?
thanks again.
