I don't know if it matters, but which way should I put the rings in?



This way around, or

this way around?
Like always no instruction sheet with french stuff

Don't you have to get the liner machined to accept those grooves? Are they Coopers rings?

There is nothing on the rings, no stamp, no mark. I try to give the company a ring.

OK good stuff....make sure you get it right first time as it looks like the rings will bite into the soft alloy of the head, I would suspect skimming the bite marks out will render the head useless through over-skimming after one removal-rebuild.

Yeah, head is on.
After what the guy explained to me, the head should be reusable again...
