Arias pistons Ring gaps and how they go?
Well i got some ls/vtec flat top arias pistons from exospeed and i can't find the gaps that i need for the rings and also what order they go onto the pistons. I've searched and some people have said there are colors on the rings to indicate where it goes. My rings don't have them. If anyone could show me a picture or anything of the order they go on and the gaps that i need that would be great. Thanks
If the rings have any numbers on them that side goes up.If there is a chamfer on the inside diameter of the top ring that side goes up.If there is no chamfer than either way is OK.If there is a chamfer on the inside diameter of the second ring that side goes down.
As far as the ring gap goes if this is a NA street engine than I would use .0045"/inch of bore.That would be 3.189 x .0045 = .014" for both the top and second ring.This is a minimum and if they are a little bigger don't sweat it.

In which order do the piston rings go? I have 5 of them . If a picture could be shown that would be awesome. I can't find info about these at all .
Also on my Arias box i found the gaps. It says minimum is .004 inch. Does that mean if it's tighter it needs to be filed down? All of the rings measure bigger than .004 inches
