Yes, using Hasting rings
From where?
EMW

NO
I looked up the KB pistons installation instructions and the ring gap should be { Bore x .0065} , so for my 96mm pistons I went with .025
2nd ring should go at .016, oil rings same.
They want a larger end gap on the top ring. there have been cases of them tearing the top land off if the top ring gap is too tight.
