Ring #1 is top compression ring, #2 is next comp. ring, #3 is the ridged oil ring, and #4 is the top and bottom oil ring, right?

 

this looks like it came out my prelude helms.i rememebr those specs when i rebuilt my first block.

 

so does that sound right? I wanna make sure i'm settin the right ring's gap

 

as long as your block was honed to specs,the stock rings should not need any filing,but yeah,thats right.

 

those specs sound right to me

 

alrighty, think i found out for sure;

#1 is top comp. ring,
#2 is 2nd comp. ring
#3 is top and bottom oil ring,
and the accordion-looking ring ya don't screw with.

Thanks for the help!
