  2. Install No. 2 compression ring and No. 1 compression ring. Ensure No. 2 ring is installed with dot (manufacturer's identification mark) facing up. See Figure. DO NOT use a piston ring expander to install oil ring side rails or expander. Position ring gaps in proper locations before piston installation. See Figure.
