Some time long ago, I seem to recall reading some OMC service information that indicated a preferred or recommended orientation for the wrist pin retainer clip, in terms of where the open section of the clip should be located relative to the pin. The enclosed pic shows where how I found the clips positioned but I thought I remember reading that the open section of the clip should be oriented down toward the bottom of the piston skirt. Is there a recommended position for the clip or did I just dream this all up? And BTW, I will be installing new wrist pins and clips as part of this rebuild.
