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.
