I thought I read on my piston kit that you want the gap to be either on top or the bottom so that inertia will hold it tight into the clip groove. I'll look for a link that had some helpful tips that I used when I did my top end for the first time.

OK here you go, scroll to the bottom of this page ........... http://www.smellofdeath.com/lloydy/piston_diag_guide.htm

just make sure you can get the clip back out when you need to....don't line the gap in the clip up with the groove in the piston pin hole.

you want the opening of the clip 180 degrees to the opening in the piston..

That's the way I've always done it.
