99% of the people are installing them backwards w/ the arrow facing the crank pully... when they should actually be facing the flywheel, because of the offset of the wristpin. .020 offset in the wrong direction will have those effects along w/ desent piston slap.
Just a thought.... about the issue ur experiencing
I measuered the "stock" Honda pistons, and wisecos that I installed... and the same wristpin offset was on the Viteras.... but the arrows were facing the Flywheel... So that's the way I installed them...since the Suzuki motors are transverse of Hondas.

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
UPDATE MY VITARA MOTOR STATUS WHY IT FAILED (NOT REALLY JUST PURGING) WHY I TOOK IT OUT
ok i never payed attention to the cylinder head and the gasket glued to it. so i plealed it off guess what i see is black areas (cylinder pressure leaking?? anyone..) leading right into the water jacket in the two middle cylinders farther examining the head i realize how ruff the machine job is on the head and that i can feel it with my finger nail and comparing it to the other head i got back from the machine shop for the new motor its mirror finish.. i examine more... i see the ruff machine work and the valleys (low parts from the machine work) have black stuff in there so this guy did a shitty job on my head so i just waisted 1300 on the stupid B20/vtack swap :1 so i need to get some rods and put this motor back together with the arrow facing the right way this time.. lol cuz my brother is getting the other vitara build im making
this is the ---- torn apart and fresh resurface and presure cheack + valve job and fresh hone on the block 353 dollas and the guy had to replace 3 valves like that it was 310 still not bad id say compared to the last machine shop i went to get this ---- build
poor sexy turbo beast torn apart
this is my borothers ---- box thats getting the vitara motor
more pics of stuff ARP studs ect
