Rings with any sort of bevel, chamfer, or other shape on the inside of the ring are "scraper" rings with a dual purpose. They seal compression on the upstroke, and scrape nany oil that gets past the oil ring back toward the crankcase on the sownstroke. Always install those rings in the second groove, with the chamfer or bevel pointing up. Jerry
