Hi to All
Just putting my engine back together. After crank regrind.
Im leaving the top end alone for now
The BHB wire wound pistons have a 2 piece oil control ring.
Question is should the two pieces be offset / clocked or should the gap line up?
Obviously I've clocked the the 2 compression rings but I'm not sure how these 2 piece oil control rings should go. I haven't seen this type before.
Cheers

On your oil ring the top piece is correct but the bottom piece needs to be fitted the same way as the top. Yes it looks odd but the Hepolite guide shows both flat faces of the split oil ring are fitted upper most and the castellations facing down. So whip it off and turn it 180 degrees and you'll be good to go.

If you zoom in you can see.
Do you have a link to the info on these oil rings? Is it in the tech articles?
