Do you count the piston rings from the top (ring 1, ring 2, oil ring), or from the bottom (oil ring, ring 1, ring 2).

Thanks

I think it's from the top. Never had any reason to number them.

But I'm guessing you're trying to install a new set of rings, maybe? In that case, the silver ring goes on top, printed side up (if there is any printing).

top down

#1 comp. ring

#2 comp. ring

#3 oil rings/expander

dots or other markings go up toward the top of the piston, dont forget to measure the end gap and stagger them too, good luck
