in the car engine block there are cylinders. in each cylinder theres a pistion. a piston works by exsplosion in the cylinder. that exsplosion comes from the spark plug. then there gas. when the carb puts the air and fuel mixture in the spark plug goes off and it pushes the piston down. then there are valves there are 4 valves on each cylinger. 2 valves are exhust and 2 are the intake valves. the air and fuel mixture come threw the intake and when the air go off there is smoke and the exhust valves open then the smoke goes threw the manafolds and out the tailpipe.

If the notch on the top of the pistion is pointing to the rear, Then the pistion is installed wrong. If you keep puting the pistions in you will come to one that will no fit on the crankshaft. All notches MUST point to the front.
