Default 202 heads and pistons

how can i tell if my current pistons will accept 202 heads? have a look at the pic and let me know what you think. i bought everything else for the engine today except for the heads and i dont want to change the pistons just so i can have 202's. if these wont work im ordering 190's. one more thing. which direction is the arrow on the piston supposed to point when installed? i took pics when i dissasembled the engine but ya think i can find em?

take the piston to a machine shop and see if the 2.02 valve fits the size of the relief. The next issue is the lift and duration of the cam to match with the depth of the relief. Also, some heads/cams will work even if the pistons were flat top based on the cam specs.

it depends if they will fit on rocker ratio, and cam lift
