CP Piston Orientation

Gentlemen, forgive me for being abundantly dumb in this area, but I can't for the life of me figure out the orientation of the Carrillo CP pistons I just got. I feel like the 2 valleys would go towards the intake side of the engine, but I honestly am not sure.

If any of you fine scholars could help me figure this out, I would be much obliged and you would get a gold star in my book. Thanks dudes and enjoy your weekend!

The valve reliefs go towards the intake side.
