Wossner Piston orientation 1970 911T

Hi Pelicans,

Can anyone with experience let me know if this is the correct piston orientation for Wossner Pistons?

Arrow pointing up towards intake valve or should it be the opposite???

The larger valvepockets would be intake, so I think you need to turn your pistons 180 degrees. Could be its just the way the picture was taken but it looks like the bottom valvepockets are larger at the moment.

Are You 100% sure?
The engine is completely assembled by now.
I need to be absolutely certain before I rip it apart

Thanks
Marcin

Correct orientation based on the valve cutouts is discussed in the Wossner installation instructions but no mention of the arrow.
