I am in the process of rebuilding my friends 88 22re. I have a Rock engine set. Got lucky after 220K - standard bore, rods and mains. My question is how do the rings go? I have standard Rock piston rings with no instructions and they are split up in bags - 1st, 2nd and oil. There are no marks(like top or a dot) on the rings and no bevels that I can tell of. The only thing that I can see is 92 Rock on one part of the ring and 1.5 std on the other. So does it matter what side of the rings face up or what? I have looked at Hastings site(I know-different manufacturer) and they say if the rings don't have a bevel or an outer groove then the rings can be installed either face up....????? Can I do that? TIA!!!
