CB750 3 piece oil rings question
« on: January 06, 2010, 07:41:17 AM »
My OCD is kicking in - on the 3 piece oil rings is there a top/bottom to these rings? I know the other rings are marked but I couldn't see anything on the oil rings and they look the same on both sides. I thought I'd ask before taking a piston off to check.
Thanks,
Cliff.

I just installed a set last week. There are no markings on the 3 piece oil rings. Just make sure the expander does not overlap on itself.

Thanks! I was having trouble with the expander overlapping itself. When it did this the oil rings would not install properly.
