Posted June 2, 200915 yr Hi Guys, I recently bought Yamaha genuine rings. Could anyone please tell me which one is the top ring? Which is the top side of each? The dark side or the side that is also dark but with a silver edge? Thanks in advance. Luis in South Africa (luisinsa)
June 2, 200915 yr The writting on the rings has to face upwards and i dont think it matters which one goes top or bottom,

June 3, 200915 yr Normally the silver edged ring is a top ring. One may be thinner than the other. If so,hold the piston up to light and see if the grooves are the same width. Put the ring in the correct groove that way. Markings are near the ring gap and as mentioned,face upward.
