Piston rings
« on: September 02, 2019, 05:10:53 PM »
I was given a set of David Silver piston rings comprising of a chrome one, a black one and the set of 3 for the oil control ring.

What ring goes at the top? I have sussed out the 'R' on the top surface of the rings denoting "This side up"

Not sure which way round the top 2 go. Currently have the black ring second one down the chrome one at the top.

Just waiting for a cam chain tensioner to arrive before I slot it all together, so thought I'd double check.

Cheers

Bill W.

Thanks Julie,

I had put them in that way, but I thought I would check before I got round to putting it all back together.

Thanks

Bill.
