Installing piston rings onto piston...

Hey guys I've checked out some sites and read about the positioning of the piston rings on the piston but exactly how do you install them?
Do you just slide them into the piston ring groove?

any methods? thanks

Use this tool - Piston Ring Expander.

Gap orientation per Helms manual works fine.

You can also gently put one side on and gently slide it around .. very carefully so you dont brake them.. or if you got the money buy that tool above.. and no headache:D
