The offset in the piston must be the same on each side. It must also be located the same. This is why the piston is marked "Front". The "thrust side" is the same in both banks, as the pressure on the rod/piston comes from the same direction during rotation. For the same reasons, pistons with only two reliefs have NO offset.
