SeanM Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Apart from spacing the gaps 120 degrees apart, is there a preferred start point for the top ring, should the gap be on the cam side or does it not matter, similar question for the oil control ring?

Dick Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I always avoid having the gaps on the thrust side of the piston. I don't think that it really matters though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Doesn't matter where you put them as long as staggered. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 It doesn't matter, even staggered on installation they do rotate and gaps do lineup at times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
