Hi guys, am working on rebuilding my super xl and started to put in the wrist pin retaining clip (the one thats just a c-clip) and put it in the wrong side of the piston (stupid i no) so now it is on the opposite of the exhaust port side and this is where the open end of the wrist pin goes. my question is: does it really make a difference? once i thought about it this orientation almost makes more sense than the correct way because the open end has a flatter sharper edge to come into contact with the retaining clip and the other retaining clip is wider, giving it more surface area to come into contact with the beveled, closed end of the wrist pin. Should I leave it, spend a half hour swearing at it to remove it, or what. Thanks fellas.
