I just want to add a couple more thoughts to the fine list here already. Some ring compressors have the compression bands offset towards one end of the compressor. Make sure that these bands are on the end of the compressor closest to the block when installing the piston and that the compressor is tight on the block all the way around. Second, if you are putting new rings on a used piston, double check the ring gap by taking a new ring and putting it in the cylinder to make sure the ring is not an oversize. Use the piston to push it to make sure the ring is perfectly aligned perpendicular to the cylinder wall. If the ring gap is correct, then make sure that all the ring grooves in the piston are absolutely clean with no deposits left to prevent the rings from compressing into the pistons. Good luck!
