With wiseco's I think they'll go in only one way. They have different thicknesses. The copper color one is on top, and the dark on bottom. They also have a letter on them (maybe "n") it is supposed to face up like the instructions say. Don't forget to set ring gaps. After you file the ring gaps, scuff the edges that you filed. That way the ring fits in freely inside the ring landings without sticking. You should be set then.
