Stock 440 rebuild: direction of piston

i was told that puting them in back words will rase comp. 1pt. but you have to turn pis.onrod i was told this from an old class racer .if you look at the piston at the rist pin area you can see the offset. iv never done it my self .i think the next stock one i do will be done that way.


Interesting...
I do see the offset on the rod, I thought I had it right. Everything rotates nice and freely so I thought I was OK. I don't see how it wouldn't work but I just want to be safe and not ruin my motor.
Heading to school early to flip those over. See ya! :D
