Is there only one correct orientation? Or 2?

Two--one for each direction! :-) Whenever I disassemble a motor, I
scratch a mark across the "parting line(s)". Then I know how to
re-assemble it.


The idea is good, but there's a better way. Use a punch and put matching
dimples across the 'parting lines'. Put one set on one end and two sets
on the other.
