A allthingsdirt Member Jun 6, 2007 94 0 Nov 15, 2007 #3 Install them with the markings facing up. If it's for a two-stroke there will be a specific pin in the ring grooves on the piston that the open part of the rings must fit over. If it's for a four stroke then stagger the ring gaps so as that none of them line up. Make sense.
