ready to put in my pistons, just looking for the correct way to space the ring gaps. anyone have a diagram? 95 351 w thanks

 

12 o clock , 4 o clock , 8 o clock

 

12 o clock being the top ring? how should the oil rings be set up? and yes i know the two top rings are compression, there are two oil rings. thank you!

 

Are you re-using the old rings??

 

2 oil rings ? are you talking about a 2 piece oil ring ? if so then just set the gaps 180 deg. apart ! all the rings will move around while the engine is running ! the reason to offset the gaps is to help with initial blow by !

 

yes two piece oil ring. and yes im using new rings. thanks

 

There should be a chamfer on one edge of the rings as well I believe. From what I fermenter the chamfer faces the top of the piston so that the conbustion gas gets in behind it and firces it out to create a better seal.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

Unless the rings are REALLY cheap there SHOULD be instructions on the package...
