Default Need Wiseco piston help ASAP...

First off I tried calling wiseco and they were closed so here is my question...Also I don't think I recieved the full information with the pistons.

With their piston rings I need to know which ring is the top and bottom compression ring
One ring is black and thicker the other ring is a copper color and thinner. Which is top and which is bottom?
Also with the information I got from them it tells the ring gap positioning for the oil rings but it does not say where to place the ring gap for the compression rings. I'm assuming I can just put them in the stock honda positions. Is this correct?

This motor needs to go together tomorrow and wiseco won't be open till monday so any help is greatly appreciated.

KJ

The copper looking ring goes on top with the letter"N" facing up. On the positon of the compression and oil ring,you could use stock arangement.but sometimes people will position them like the oil control ringsbut one oposite of the other.Just have to make sure there are not in line with any of the thrust surfaces.

Or directly in-line relative to each other. They have to be staggered, or the engine will have lots of blow-by.

Check your ring end gaps before putting the rings on the pistons.
