Before you Install:
New piston & cylinder kits ship with the piston rings installed in the pistons, inside the cylinders. However, this does not mean they are ready to install. The pistons should be removed so the rings can be properly clocked, then reinstalled before engine assembly can begin. We cover the procedure in the video below.
