Title: Piston rings
Post by: heliwilly 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.

Silver edge ring at the top, black edge ring in the middle, oil control ring sandwich at the bottom

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.
