I am rebuilding the top end on my 97 vax 600. The pistons do not have a mark on the top of the piston to show which way they should be installed. Does the hole in the skirt go toward the exhaust or the carbs?
 

Piston install

All two stroke pistons are installed with the anti-rotation pins for the rings pointed at the intake. Peel a few layers off the head gasket while your at it. That alone makes quite a difference in the performance. Good luck.
