I put them in with the "V" up with each leg splitting the piston ring pin and immediately I could see that I could squeeze the rings with my fingers and work them into the head with no trouble. It just shows that even though you might take something off real carefully it can still go back on the wrong way. Anyway it smoked for about a minute and then settled down and ran like it has for over ten years.
