i know that on two strokes the rings need to be in the right position?
do they on a four stroke to?
if so what is it? or as long as the top ring gaps are not in line with bottom gaps and oil ring gaps it should be good right?

i know i dont want them all lined up!

any thoughts? this is how i was going to do it

On my 750 the gaps line up as follows:

Top ring and bottom ring gaps face forward.

Middle ring gap goes towards rear.
