8 sided ring goes in first. Then the spacer ring Then you peel the 2 scraper rings on, working down from top of piston, 1 goes each side of the spacer ring. |

Be sure that you don't accidentally over-lap the ends of the 8 sided ring |

sounds wrong to me, isn't there a data sheet with pics in the box? If flat chromed scrapers, there should be 8 there. |

Lucky you noticed and investigated it or you would have ended up with a very oily outcome. |
