A typical example of a piston and rings
Table 1
Top Compression Ring
When installing a new top compression ring, make sure that the word "TOP" is facing the top of the piston. New top piston rings have a red identification mark which must be on the left of the ring end gap when the top piston ring is installed on an upright piston.

Table 2
Intermediate Compression Ring
The word "TOP" must be facing the top of the piston when you install a new intermediate compression ring. New intermediate rings have a green identification mark which must be on the left of the ring gap when the intermediate ring is installed on an upright piston.
