Ok, I have my engine tore down, a fresh bored cylinder (406), and a brand new 86mm wiseco. I am going to try and get the cylinder and piston installed tonight, but I have a few questions.

1. Do I put the piston on the rod, then guide it into the cyl. or do I put the piston in the cyl. then connect the rod?

2. What is the deal with rings? I have read about gapping and stuff, but nothing has been to specific. Do most people gap them or just put them on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kaleb
