Default Arrow on Piston?

Im rebuilding my Grandpa's 1996 Polaris Sportsman 400, Ive rebuilt alot of car engines but never a 2-stroke engine. My question is which way does the arrow point on the piston?

Yep...exhaust port......or as some manufacturers go by "arrow points toward the front of the engine". Apparantly, some people don't know the intake from the exhaust ports.

Well I installed it and there is no way the arrow could point towards the exhaust port, it points towards the exaust itself or the right side of the engine if your standing behind it.
