Default Piston pin location

If you look at the side of the piston it will be apparent that the piston pin is not located exactly in the middle of the piston. I have had pistons back from machine shops fitted incorrectly on the pins. What happens is more pressure is exerted on one side of the piston and the piston cocks in the bore causing wierd types of wear and the like.
