I was going to start putting my engine back together today, but when I opend the box of piston rings I noticed 2 different types (not counting the oil one's). The instructions told me which direction they go but not which one is the top and which is the bottom. One set of rings is dark in color and the other is light. I'd almost assume that the dark one is a cast and the light is a steel, but I could be way off.
Also, I recall being told that it's best to lube the piston walls before you insert the piston to make insertion easier...is this a common practice?
I'm assuming I'd want to use regular motor oil and not my bearing lube.
Oh, this is a turbo block, if that makes any difference.
