Default Quick engine rebuild question piston markings
I am getting ready to install the piston in a k341 I know the connecting rod needs to be facing a certain way, I got that. There is a little machined divot on the surface of the piston does that have to be facing a certain way as well?

I was going to use the old piston and connecting rod as a guide but the I remembered that the P.O. swapped the intake and exhaust valves in the motor so I figured I had better ask somebody who knows more than me before I install it.

Thanks

C style piston I have the notch cut out on the piston head and criss-crossed recessed area under the top of the piston.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
