Hello guys,
I finally stuffed my pistons in the 540 yesterday. It went really well. After I installed about 3 pistons, I realized I was installing the top ring upside down, it had a dot on em and this is supposed to be installed facing up, so I had to redo 3 of them.
I lost the original instructions which came with the rings. They are the total seal standard plasmamoly ductile iron top rings with a cast iron second ring. Dumb question, how can u differentiate between the 2 rings, since they are the same size? One of the rings is shiny on the face with a smaller dot, the other one is black with a larger dot. I assummed the black one is the ductile iron top ring. Hope I'm right.
PS if u ever want to install pistons, get a taper ring compressor, it is awesome!!
Thanks Ed
