	Ive picked up a Rover 3.9 in bits all clean & ready to go, but the top two rings, can any one confirm the correct position .. Rings are AE, one ring is square section with the AE logo on on one side. The other ring has a 45 degree chamfer on the inside face/edge, it has "AE TOP" on the opposite side. Easy to think that top should be the top groove, but I have an idea its second grove with the word "TOP"face up towards the CROWN, that would leave the chamfer facing down. please if any one can confirm, thanks

	Hi, Yes, usually the 'TOP' engraved on the ring tells you which way up the ring goes not its position on the piston. Colin

	The one with Top on is the 2nd ring from memory.
