Which piston ring belongs where?
Hi
I've gotten myself new pistons and rings but I am a little bit confused. The oil rings were no problem but the other two sets are a bit different. One ring is all black and has a little dot which is supposed to indicate the side that faces up. At least that's what I gathered. The other has a polished outer side.
Which one goes in which grove? Does it matter?
Thanks

The shiny stuff on the one ring is the moly facing. That's the top ring.
