Just for future reference, a trick I learned on fitting pistons on inline fours is to use wood forks under the pistons. It holds two pistons in place and keeps the crank from moving so you can slide them into the cylinders. Cut a 1 by 4 piece of pine with a slot in the middle so the connecting rod will fit in it and the piston skirt will rest on the sides, a great cheap assembly tool.
