Can anyone tell me how a replacement set of rings should go in a
Honda N600? It has a chrome edged ring with a dot that I assume goes
up, ring with a notch out of the edge that touches the cylinder, and
I can get the oil ring.

Re: Piston rings.
Hi Kevin:
The compression ring is on the top, it is solid no notch or grove, the
second has grove or notch which is down when placed on the piston, and the
oil ring has a spring seat behind it when put on the piston. All rings
should have numbers or a Dot on the open edge facing up. Honda 50 over
rings will have a .50 on them 1.00 rings will have a 1.00 on them. Make
sure you oil them, have the openings at 30 degree angles from the other
rings open points. This is so the openings will not line up causing a
compression leak.
Just a quick suggestion, put your pistons in the cylinders before
placing the cylinder on the engine. Have the pins in far enough to keep
them there and lower the cylinders down to the rods. Then push the wrist
pins through the rod and put in the retaining ring. This makes everything
go in much easier.
