Like I did say though, this kit seemed like it was almost ready out of the box. I did way less prep.

I just realized that I didn't check which ring I put on top! Guess I get to tear it down again. What kind of damage would I have done, and would I be able to tell that they're wrong by any signs?

Thanks Z.  I got my kit today, looks really sweet.  Piston is super light weight.  Both rings the same?, do they have side that goes on top?  I just opened the box, looks like I got all the parts I was supposed to.  I am thinking the fun part will be removing the wrist pin circlips.

Put a towel in the open party of the case, they love to shoot right down that direction. Never lost one in there, but the towel saved many attempts. I also kept a towels on the ground to let t them not bounce as much when dropped.
The removal wasn't too bad, the install will test your patience.

Mine were both black as well and void of any markings. They were the same size so I just installed them as is.

Good to know. I was excited about the kit and didn't notice anything that would've differentiated the two. My eyes aren't digital calipers, either though...

It's not very common to find the same ring for compression, and oil control. Even less so for no taper on the top ring but since you both have the same kit, and the same rings... So be it. Never had a problem with anything Malossi so...

The worst that will happen is increased blowby, and slightly less power. The top ring usually has a tapered top edge that allows gasses to wedge the ring downward, and outward on the compression stroke. It helps push the ring against the cylinder wall.
This link explains it better.
Keystone rings are what are preferred, and generally used in 2t engines.

Jeez, if I get anymore power my buddy with his super 8 150 will just junk his bike out of frustration. Rode with him today, totally tore him up. He does weigh about seventy five pounds more than me though.
