The ring gaps should be 270* from each other I believe.

Dot side up, gaps can't line up. Simple as that. Be careful that they don't rotate when you compress them.

Re: dumb *** thing to ask.

i run my gaps 180* off from eachother. like stated, be careful things dont rotate while you're pushing the piston into the sleeve.

Re: dumb *** thing to ask.

if there is a dot side, dot side up, as stated above. they should rotate 120* every ring. be careful not to bend the rings when you're putting em in... it does happen.
