well, im in the middle of a rebuild. . . i have all my stuff layed out on cardboard so that its all marked. i ordered a "rotor kit" from atkins. i just checked my layout to find it mysteriously knocked around. the seals i dont care about, but the metal oil rings. . . . dont those have to be on the same side and all that stuff? does it really matter THAT much? i really dont feel like ordering those damn things as im ready to put it back together. . . after 8+ months of sitting. what do you guys think? will it hurt anything to put em in without them being in the original slots?

thanks,
paul

Oil control rings don't matter where they go back in
but the springs have to be on the correct side.
I recently opened a motor someone rebuilt themselves
to find that they put the oil control ring springs in
backwards did a real number on the rings themselves
and wore the springs out that were in wrong,
the guy said it ran not bad just used more oil

I answered else were, make sure the rings do not stick or bind .If one is loose swap it to another side. mix and match untill all have the best fit .
