If the pistons are upside down you can just put the heads on upside down and it will work.

I did something simular last week building a computer for a buddy of mine.. he was asking me a million questions I put all the shit together but didn't hook the power supply up to the motherboard. I sat there for 20 minutes laughing at the fact I moved it to 3 outlets to test it. I don't do well with people hovering over me while I am trying to do something. what kind of power is this combo good for?
