Piston ring question
I have just reringed my 400ex with a wiseco kit. Im confused on which ring goes where. There is a gold/brass colored ring and a raw metal colored ring. Which one goes on top and bottom?

Should have two compression rings(numbers go up!!) then should have a three piece oil ring set! Place the one with ridges on(I guess the gold one you're talking about?),then install one thin oil ring above and below this ring staggering the ends. OPT

Sorry about not beong more specific, im actually talking about the two compression rings.. One is goldish and one is raw metal. I installed gold up top and metal second but just want to be sure thats how it goes.. Never a good thing to install rings wrong.

I ASSUME the gold on on the top??Haven't encountered different colored rings from past memory on Wisecos I've ordered for different brands,but haven't done a 400ex top end either! But you know what ***-u-me means
