Rusty be sure you pay close attention to the rings when you install them. They have a top and a bottom side. Most ring sets will have a small dot or tiny dimple to distiguish the top from the bottom. Your 2 upper compression rings should be marked this way. If the 2 thin oil scraper rings that go in the bottom groove are not marked for a top or bottom ( most are not ) then they can go in either way. The instructions that came with the ring set should point this out.
Upper rings have a slight chamfer on the piston groove side so that cylinder pressure will keep the rings out tight against the cylinder walls. That is why they must be installed correctly.
