How big of an issue is this gonna be phase 2

The two pistons in the picture have the arrows pointing the same way, should be towards the front on the engine. But you're saying some of them don't?
And pardon my ignorance, but what are spit holes?
Thats good at least this thread werent a complete waste of everyones time, if you take one of the caps of one of the rods you will see a small groove in the machined surface, oil is fed thru this groove under pressure and it spits oil onto the adjacent cylinder wall.

Spit holes face in toward the camshaft, bearing tabs face outward
