What???? If he faces them towards his timing gear or chain how is he going to bolt them to the crank with the rod bolts facing the same way. it wont be able to mount to the crank. Arrow points up toward intake.

what pistons are using? you say domes? Do you mean the combustion chamber or actual dome pistons?
