Putting together a BMW m20 but I can't find a definitive on which way the pistons goo in. Is the larger relief cut in the piston top supposed to go on the intake or exhaust side?

There should be a mark on the piston top showing front. If not, I'd say the larger valve relief would go to the larger valve, but thats just a guess.

Thanks for the pics! That is how I thought they should go in but a second opinion was good insurance! Thanks!

Larger toward the intake as it is the larger valve as it is drawn in where exhuast is pushed out.
