What you're describing doesn't make sense to me, Mike. The piston's the same height regardless of which way it is installed; the only thing that should change is whether the part of the piston that sticks up is on the valve side of the cylinder head or the other side. In the F-14, the part of the piston that sticks up above the block fits into the recessed portion of the head that has the valves. I haven't seen one, but from what Justins tells me, the F-14 head is like that of the A/B/C engine.. the valves are recessed and the other half of the combustion chamber is flush with the block. The F-12 has that huge domed combustion chamber, so it wouldn't matter which side the piston 'bump' went on. Pistons usually have an arrow on the side intended to be forward.
