Piston ring installation??
Hey,
I am putting a sbc 283 back together and have a question installing the new ring set. They are made by HI-TECH engine components. The box is laid out in three compartments...top rings, second rings and oil rings. There is no documentation as to what ring is the top and which is the second. The only information provided is a generic description of what side goes up (no dots and no bevel -either way, dots face up, bevel down etc).
One compartment of rings has a dot on them so I know the dot goes up but in which groove? The other ring does not appear to have any dots or bevels.
On the box they mention (in a marketing way... not a technical way) that the top (compression ring) has a convex face and the second ring has a trailing taper. I can't distinguish these attributes on either set of rings. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
KevinLast edited by 59belaircopcar; 08-12-2006 at 06:39 AM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
