Default Piston ring installtion?

I did a search on here and across the web. I get there are different styles of piston rings, but everyone has a different idea on how the chamfer is suppose to go. One up, one down. both up. both down. I have the same set of rings and instructions from Stens that a fella on here posted about as to which way they were to go. Instructions says top one with chamfer up and mid one with chamfer down. Even with instructions shown on this thread. some said otherwise for chamfer position. Anybody with some light on this as to why so many opinions. Even against manufacture instruct?

I would follow the printed instructions that came with your set of rings.

As stated, manufactures printed instructions take preference over the usual chamfer up positioning.
Now if you are in the quest for knowledge go here:

thank guys. the one issue i have is the mid ring is to be installed with the chamfer down which makes the outer face of the rings bevel facing upward. in theory, scraping more oil to the top then back down the wall????

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
