Are you ansolutely sure that there are no markings on the face of the piston that states whether it is a port or starboard piston?

Okay but you didn't answer the question about any imprinting being on top of the piston.

If you have any of the pistons from the engine still attached to the connecting rods, look at the rod where it attaches to the wrist pin. On one side of the rod, there will be a oil hole. That oil hole must face upwards..... and that will tell you which way the other piston should be installed.

Start over, look at your post, then read the next one, if there is any questions back to you, answer them, all of them, and then read the the next reply back to you, then if there are any questions there respond with the answers. It is real simple to ask for help here and get it. But I am thinking now that you may need to box your sh*t up and take it to the dumpster, for two reasons, one anyone that knows how to work on boat motors, don't like basket cases, and two you don't have the common sense it takes to be working on it. While you are at it, toss your tools and computer in the dumpster as well.

See ya, would not want to be ya...

Goes to show that there are some people that are way beyond the help point. I'll make a note not to bother this fellow ever again.

dont sweat it joe.
I get it all the time both posting and at the shop.
some folks simply cant understand.
never seen a looper piston that the crown wsnt marked P or S and either up r an arrow.
after that it may take incredible common sense to line up the ports in the skirt with the intake ports and simply figgure it out.

I can't imagine putting one together without one.

The answer(s) is rather simple-

They go in the way they came out, you idiot.

They go in 2 ways- the right way and the wrong way

I'm just wondering if it's drugs or alcohol. Whewwwwww!!! Or maybe both.
