Got myself into a little problem. When I pulled my motor apart, I forgot to mark my piston to re-install later. The problem is that back when, I had the pistons dished, so all markings have been taking out. I had a NOS Cima piston to match up but no longer have it. I need to install these pistons but correctly. Is there some kind of forged marking on the underside that  may tell me which way to they go??

The wrist pin boss has a raised line forged/cast in to indicate fwhl/arrow side
