Which way are rings to be installed?

All rings are to be installed with the marks facing up.

The ring with the silver face is the top ring, the 2nd one is the dark grayish ring. Make sure you install them with the dots facing up and use .022” end gap for the top and .017-.024” for the 2nd. Ring, for street turbo use

  1. But the upper 2 rings are dissimilar – which one goes at the top? The red/yellow chromed or the yellow banded black cast ring?

  2. Phil,
    The ring with the silver face (chrome) is the top ring, the 2nd one is the dark grayish ring. Make sure you install them with the dots facing up and use .022” end gap for the top and .017-.024” for the 2nd. Ring.

    let me know if you need any more help

  3. Hi,

    I just received my piston kit and was trying to get the end gap measurements right. I ordered the piston set for the Toyota 4ag 16 valve (3710000). The ring set part number I received was (1515403228). I will also run 100+ octane on a high boost turbo setup. What gaps should i run?
    Thanks ahead ………..

  4. The top ring should have a minimum gap of .022″ (ring with silver face)

    The 2nd ring can have .017 to .024″ of gap (dark grey ring)

    The oil ring can be set up any where from .020 to .060

    Let me know if you need any thing else

  11. Will be using your pistons made for a MazdaSpeed 3 turbo. Machine shop has asked for the recommended bore surface finish (RMS) and cylinder to piston clearance. Can you supply this info?
