CB550 Piston Ring Install
« on: October 15, 2008, 09:13:33 PM »
I'm re-ringing my CB550 and the new rings don't have any markings indicating how they're installed (these are factory Honda rings).  One of the rings in each set have an 'R' on one side.  Any help on the install order would be appreciated.
