Installing Piston!
Well I got my cylinder and getting ready to go ahead and put the rings on and put the piston in. Do I need to washe the piston with warm soapy water also? The 2 rings besides the oil rings. Bronze colored and grey one, which one goes in where? What is the easiest way to slide the cylinder over piston? Any other installation tips would be appreciated. Thx.

The box that the piston came in should have installation instructions. The oil ring goes on the botton, and the other two rings are the same(doesn't matter).......You do need to check the ring gap though, by putting the ring in the cylinder, and squaring it up with the piston, and then measure the gap.......It should be around .030"......
Make sure you put the gaps in the rings 180 degrees from eachother.....or just make sure they don't line up anyway......also, make sure you get the cir-clips in good on the piston.....and oil everything up good......including the cylinder, rings, and wristpin....and the top end(cams and valves)
