is this for your 01?According to my book There is a notch on the top outer part of the piston that must aim towards the front of the motor.

Yea it matters generrally the piston will have FRONT on one end of the piston.

If there are any number on the top of the piston, they go to the same side as the number on the connecting rod and cap. All numbers should face the oil cooler side (right) of the engine. If there is an arrow, it goes to the front. If there is the word FRONT.....well yeah, enough said.
