Yes I like to install the pistons into the cylinders as a unit then slide the assembly onto the head studs where you then align the rod and knock the wristpin home. I think the other method (piston on rod, slide cylinder on) does not give a good sense or "feel" of how much force you are exerting on the rings if it is not perfectly aligned. I know that's how the Porsche factory did it but I feel the 1st method is superior
