TRX300 Shindy Rings Top Ring Identification

Recommended Posts

I got my cylinder bored .25 over, and have a new shindy piston and rings  I need some help identifying which ring is the top ring.  Is the black ring with the chamfer for the top ring?

You need a manual ?      from memory the top ring has a beveled edge on the inside top of the ring with the  bevel facing up  , the second ring is beveled on the bottom outside of the ring

The manual says the narrower ring is the top.  The shindy instructions say the lighter colored ring is the top.  Seems like the black ring has the narrowest width and thats what is confusing.

both should have 'T" marks facing up

smaller ring with outer silver ring goes on top

The larger ring is 2nd ring

 

I think Shindy means that the" lighter color ring" being the silver outer ring, not the color of the ring itself

Things get lost in translation sometimes

beveled shinny edge  top ring, dark wider ring is second ring. top ring with shinny bevel faces up !. stack ring end gap AWAY from next ring !. do not line end gaps up with wrist pin end area !. that letter T tells you they face up.
