Dome goes towards the spark plug side. Valve reliefs go towards the intake. Same applies to dished or flat top pistons.

There should be either dots/small notch/arrow on the piston that denotes piston orientation. Those usually point towards the front of the engine. Check the paper work that came with your pistons.

Pictures of the pistons? Any specs on dome height or head CC...if you're unsure, you can always clay the motor and check for clearance!
