Hello All,

I have no instructions for installing new rings and the book sucks. My rings can be installed one of two ways. Which is correct. These are side views

DIAGRAM A

Piston top

ring / \ ring

LOWER CRANK

**********************
DIAGRAM B

Piston top

ring \ / ring

LOWER CRAANK

 

what book do you have? get the haynes atv shop repair manual. http://discountautorepairmanua...=darm&Category_Code=YA

 

Ok,
The company has replied back.

Diagram B is correct. It will cause better compression

 

generally the bevel goes towards the side the ring is doing the work on. for example on a four stoke your top ring is the compression ring so the bevel goes up. the second ring is an oil ring so the bevel goes down towards the oil.
