Rebuilt 360, excessive oil consumption
Sorry to hijack the thread, but ya got me interested.
Which way is correct for piston ring installation?
The instructions that came with the Speed Pro rings for my Stroker have them pictured one way, yet the book that I bought on Engine Blueprinting has them pictured the other way.
The instructions clearly show that the notch is to be oriented towards the bottom of the piston. The top ring on the right is the proper illustration.
The book shows the notch on the upper side, towards the top of the piston.
Of course, I didn't notice this little tidbit until after the pistons were installed. :angry7: I do not want to have to tear it apart. But at least I don't have the heads on yet.
Please tell me I'm good to go. :toothy10:
