Hi all,
Happy to say that I reversed the ring orienation and solved the problem. The following points summaries my learnings;
Rings that have dots must have the dots facing the top of the piston. If there are not dots, then,
Rings with a bevel or lip on the INSIDE diameter are installed with the bevel towards the top of the piston.
Rings with a groove in the OUTSIDE diameter are installed with the groove toward the bottom of the piston.
Rings having no dots, bevels, or grooves.....suit yourself and put them in any orienation.
