How do you install piston rings?

The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.

When a piston has three ring the bottom ring will be?

Most commonly the bottom ring will be the Oil Controlring.(Control added by amclaussen.)Oil control ring is correct. It is used to keep the cylinder lubricated as the piston goes up and down. The first two top rings are for compression. However, the 2nd from the top ring is also a wipper ring. Used to keep oil from getting into the combustion chamber.(~Decker)


WHAT ring prevents the majority of the expanding compression gases from getting past the piston into the crankcase?

The ring that prevents the majority of the expanding compression gases from passing the piston into the crankcase is called the compression ring. Typically located at the top of the piston, it creates a seal against the cylinder wall, ensuring that combustion gases remain contained during the power stroke. This helps maintain engine efficiency and performance by reducing blow-by, which can lead to oil contamination and loss of power.
