Piston numbers should (or should of) been the same as they were numbered for the firing order. 1 being at the front. 2,3, and 4 as you go back. Stands to reason (in my view anyways).
Somebody (MAY) have had this thing apart for a previous overhaul. And they overhauled it, but failed to see to it that rods or pistons were put back in, in proper numerical order. Maybe didn't notice the numbers, or didn't even look for them. But whatever the case, if they re-sleeved it and put in all new bearings, it really didn't matter what hole they put them back in, as long as they were doing things right otherwise. That'd be my guess as to what happened.
In any event, I'd put this thing back together as it were, unless I was re- sleeving this thing and putting new bearings in at the time of this tear down. Then I might consider putting this back together with the numbers right as they should be.
If you change things around without overhauling, then thier will be increased wear where things have worn differently. Kind of a NO NO if not doing an overhaul at the same time that it's apart.
