You must fit each ring on the piston in the right place and clamp the ring with your fingers to see that it doesn't butt up against its self. There must be a little bit of ring gap. Use a hand file if needed. It usually goes brown ring on top, black ring in the middle, or tappered side = \ thicker ring in the middle. The two top rings have a little stamp on them near the opening. That is the side that should face up on the piston. The oil ring has 3 parts. DO NOT trim the corrigated zigzaggy ring. Only the smooth rings need to be checked for gap. Place your corrigated oil ring on the bottom groove of the piston. Then with the two thinest rings place one on the top and one on the bottom of the corrigated zigzaggy ring. You will then see that the three piece ring fits as one, once installed correctly. Good luck.
