I scribed (lightly) the number of cylinder that each piston was coming out of as well as proper orientation to the front of the engine to make sure I got them back in correctly. I only did one piston at a time and took my time double checking every measurement and ring set.

I kept the rings in their original bags (labeled 1st, 2nd, oil) to make sure not to get them confused and install them properly

The process I used with the compressor and a hammer handle to (Very gently - not a lot of pressure) push the pistons down in the cylinder

I had to do several of the pistons several times as the bottom oil ring would pop out and prevent the ring from entering the cylinder. This shouldn't take a lot of force, and if it feels stuck it probably is. I noticed it helped if I lightly tapped the edges of the ring compressor down with a rubber mallet to be perfectly lined up and even with the top of the block. This way there was no gap for the rings to pop out, and by keeping downward pressure on the ring compressor, it made it easier
