Help..piston rings order.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I started my rebuild this weekend and make a little mistake. I pulled the rings out of the box before I realized the box identified what order they are installed. The rings are PerfectCircle for a 350. The 3rd ring from the top is obvious but the 2nd and 1st I'm not sure. One set has a dark green identifying marker and the other has lite green. Anyone know off hand what the correct order is??? I backed up and thought about how I unpacked them and installed them the way I felt was right, I hope it is right or I guess I'll be re-doing.

I know, I know.....where's the pics? I will put them up in a couple days when more progress is made.

Thanks,

JKR

google perfect circle or look on the package for an 800 number and call them up CUSTOMER SERVICE

Did the Google and found nothing. Sent email but haven't heard back. Just thought I would check here while waiting for a reply from them.

Thanks Dan. I feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one. You would think since they color coded them they would put something on the box in reference to the color code.

Not much info on this but you should be able to figure out the order from this just need to look at your rings real close.

I'll have to remove one tonight I guess to see if I have them right. I called the machine shop I bought mine from and ask them. They looked at another box and the rings were a different color than mine. I haven't heard back from Perfect Circle and it'll be quicker to just pull one and use the chart sneakysnake provided. Thanks, I appreciate that!
