piston rings
« on: March 11, 2014, 12:56:00 PM »
I know this is a freshman question but I need an independent input.  Is there a top and a bottom to a piston ring on the 500?  I know on some rings there is a chamfer on the inner upper edge.

All I can say is thanks.  I pulled the jug back off and sure as heck I had both of them upside down.  The top end had a few hours on it and you could barely see the letter L or K or whatever.  I should have known though as the top of each ring was notably darker than the bottom.
