power valve re-assembly parts positioning

Want to double check all power valve parts going back in right positions when re-assembling! Didn't strip it and not sure how reliable gas gas drawings are.
Flapper valve? side with ridge along curved end facing up/inwards?
Drum valves across transfer ports, slot/cut out towards back?
What position should flap and valve drums be in when all back together and engine not running? Assume flap down in lower position (reducing size of port)? Mine doesn't come down far, about 15mm,is that right.
Seen that the plate that turns assembly has to be up against head of screw when at rest, basically turned anti clockwise as far as it will go.
When power valve is actuated assume flapper goes right up to fully open exhaust port and drums turn to open small ex transfer ports to exhaust main port.
gas gas drawings show actuator plate at top of control rod facing opposite way to how mine is, cant see how it could go any other way round than how mine is though as the 2 slight 'cams' on plate that stop against screw head have to be facing forward to do so.
cheers in advance.

Thats it as you have explained
 
I wondered the same thing after I last pulled mine down and got confused with the exploded view.

As you've said all makes sense. The 2 rods that pass through the flapper are off center with the valve drums and I'm sure they only go back together one way. As you've said the PV main flapper will close off half the exhaust port when closed (actuator arm at lowest position) and full open at highest position.
 
Last time I cleaned the pv on my 300 I noticed a large casting ridge in the flapper valve slot, it seemed to hang up a little on the guide rod.
So, I cleaned it up with a dremmel tool...just fyi
