Greg,
The bevel on the oil ring goes up, the step on the middle ring goes down
(according to Guzziology Section 4 - pg.31/32). Some rings have "Top" or
other markings printed on the top side, though they've likely worn off
your used ones. Cheers,

Didn't your new rings come with instructions?

As I'm starting to rebuild my right jug, I notice that the piston rings
are "special". The oil ring has a bevel on one side, and the middle ring
has a step shape on one side. Now I figure the oil rings bevel goes down
to allow oil to roll up there. On the other hand, I have no idea which
side of the middle ring faces, up or down. Greg '74 Police Eldo
