I have a set Hastings rings.
One ring is the oil ring for the bottom piston groove.
Of the two remaining compression rings, one has no camfer or bevel on it and no identification on either side. Instructions say it can install with either side up. The other compression ring has a camfer / bevel and an ID dot. The instructions state the dot needs to be installed facing up.

The instructions do not indicate which piston groove either ring is to install into.

Any thoughts out there on this.

Thx all for your help.
