is the any power advantage by putting the piston in 180 degrees from the stock position, ( arrow facing intake not exhaust?)

wouldnt recommend it

most of the time that arrow is there so the ring gaps dont end up in one of your ports, wich obviously will cause major damage
might wanna take a look at that im thinkin the answer is no

No there is no advantage to putting piston in backwards. But alot of disadvantages like toasting the motor. Not sure exactly why but weve toasted a few mini quad motors by putting them in backwards (need to stop trying to finish when to tired) can be quite costly.
