markseven 71 #1 Posted 22 hours ago I just got a brand new set of piston and rings from Little Barn problem is I don't see the directions that should have came with it my question is on one ring there's like a 45° taper on the inside and the other ring has a squared off notch on the outer edge of the Ring can anyone tell me the correct orientation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markseven 71 #3 Posted 21 hours ago Yep I did some use tube diagrams and Found what I was looking for. Top ring compression (ring inside ring bevel up.) Middle ring (outside little notch down) Hope this is correct. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED-Z06 2,689 #4 Posted 11 hours ago Usually if there's only one ring in the pack that's chrome faced, its the top ring, typically have a bevel on the inside that will face up..this helps combustion pressure get behind the ring and force it out. The middle ring is use black, and will have a bevel on the outside, bevel faces down. Oil control rings, if its a 2pc with a thick ring with 2 thin contact points, it will have an expander that goes inside. 3pc rings have an expander; the ends must butt up, not overlap. The thin rings go above and below it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
