I just opened a new sealed box of Kolbenshmidt TD pistons with the rings already installed. No ring installation instructions included. They all have the ring marked "TOP" in the second groove. :?: The bently says the top ring in TDs are a special alloy and the second ring has a special cut. I have always thought the ring marked "TOP" goes in the top grove.
Now, do I accept the rings as they are, assuming the factory knows what they are doing or do I assume the factory screwed up and swap them so the top ring goes on top? Crap I hate problems like this.
Any help here guys? Anyone have a new set of Kolbenshmidt TD rings with instructions that they can check for me?
Between a rock and a hard place.
