When you look at the bottom of the piston, the "Skirt" only goes 3/4 of the way around. The part of the piston that doesn't go all the way down should face the back of the engine (Towards the backplate).

Someone else here (Names have been withheld to protect the innocent) had the EXACT same problem.

Now wait. You say the cutout goes towards the rear, and tune says the front. Right now I have it facing the rear I think. So shall I switch it around and try again?
