Which Ring Is Which?

[stuartlaw_78]

Hi all... got a set of Weisco pistons and rings...

We have a black ring, and a silver ring... others are obviously the oil rings but which one is the top ring??

Black one has a larger gap and is slightly thicker but I thought the silver would be stronger therefore be the top one??

HELP!!

Assuming there are no markings or clues otherwise....generally the top ring would be the chrome ring.

just finished doin my JUN rings and mine are:

2nd ring is black and thickest with a slightly bevelled edge on the top side (top side has writing on it), and the top ring is silver/grey with same surface top and bottom with no writting on them.

thats JUN rings though... so i'd be checking with someone with same brand stuff.

P.S. ring gaps r fun stuff hehe, takes a while but gets easier as u go along (we had 30 rings to do all up)

cheers

First off, the package should have come with some instructions as to which ring is which.

Failing that, fit the thinnest ring into the thinnest ring slot.

The top ring is the shiny one, second ring is black. Install them with the letter on the ring facing upwards. The top ring is steel, thats why it looks different.

haha whoops, i meant theres 5 rings on each cylinder, but the oil spacer one doesnt need to be touched. so its 24 rings then
