They are connected via the "connecting" rod.
Pistons don't have oil dippers. Connecting rods do. What engine? What connecting rod? What piston? Show us your pics.

Maybe you have your dipper installed backwards?
There's just enough clearance, a smidgen usually, when certain items are installed correctly. When put in backwards or upside down, that clearance turns to zero.
How can you ask a question like that and not even tell anyone what specifically you're working on? How can anyone answer such a vague question as yours?
I really don't get you people sometimes. Here, let me steal your angry face. It's much more needed on my end than yours, buddy.
Ahhhh...much better.
Why don't you help us first, so we can help you?

Found out how to put it together. The piston was upside down so when it was bolted to the [connecting rod] the oil dipper on the rod hit the cam shaft. Thanks anyway.

You mean it was spun around 180 degrees right?
Pictures during disassembly are a great idea, even for people who think they know what they are doing. Sometimes there are things we don't even know to look for and don't realize it was important until we try to put it back together.

Also, I got a new carburator and put it on but now my engine wont start. Is there some way to adjust it or what.

I am new to small engines. I know that it has two screws to adjust on it but how....

You're doing yourself no favors by changing topics in the middle of your thread. Best to do a new thread, you think?
People will ignore your new question and you because this thread's about a "piston and crankshaft assembly" issue that you didn't need our help with anyway.
And since you seem unwilling to share any info on what stuff you have, what carburetor it is, blah blah blah, I must assume you're just another troll or some kind of imbecile.
Here's your warning sign:
