Stop in for a cup of coffee

Poor Quality Assurance with that piston supplier, bummer. I was in a Mopar Resto shop in Olympia, shop owner showed me a customer supplied small block with all pistons installed "backwards", didn't know you could do that, different than what Nick was dealing with but made me think about it
pistons have a slight offset on the pin hole to help with noise/slap... someone started like 40 years ago saying if you put them in backwards they have less drag and more power!!! It's BS.. and when they do it with only 2 valve reliefs it makes for fun times :)
