The attached picture is from a 914 guide Any way to confirm ring configuration? This is not what I was thinking and nothing close to how the rings were originally installed. It DOES make sense to put the oil ring gap at top as the engine lays on its side. But the oil "ring" is actually two rings (upper and lower). Should the two be configured to one gap, or offset a little to minimize oil consumption? Also,there's an arrow on the Pistons. Does it point to the front or rear of the engine? Thanks!
