Dist Mark On Pistons?

[Guest sol20516]

After removing the head on my 89' 1.6, I noticed a mark on each of the pistons. There is an arrow and next to it says 'Dist.' I assume this is a positioning mark to insert the pistons correctly with the arrow towards the distributor. The only problem is the arrow is facing the cam belt end of the engine. Does this mean the pistons are in the wrong way?

 

Thanks

 

Just done a search and found out this is correct. should of done that first. Sorry for the idiocy.

I think "Dist" refers to something french that means cam, there the right way anyway.

Thanks for that. Always nice to know

Just to confirm that "dist" should point towards the cambelt end of the engine and NOT as you'd suspect towards the distributor end.
