Engine rebuild question

Hello all.
Im going to start the assembly off my engine very soon. The car is r53 2005 and i need a little information.
Because the engine was disassembled in the machine shop, they don't mark the orientation of the pistons. I know there is an arow on the top off the piston when i'm installing whitch way the arow need ti point? Im thinkg the arw must point to the timing chain?
Allso Is this piston ring gap correct?



Any information will be nice.
