Good for you for holding firm! Imagine the piston slap if those pistons were in the "correct" way!

Note: The Perko is a SEPARATOR, not a filter. It removes water and 'bowling balls', not grit. A filter (around 10 micron) should go after the fuel pump and before the carb.

PS: I know you know this: The reverse rotation pistons go in with 'F' facing the rear.

Glad to help!
