Is there a trick or method to installing the oil ring and two retainers? I'm having a real problem. Four tries and they don't go on correctly. I'm carefully watching to avoid overlap of the red and green tabs, and I've watched "Youtubes" that make it all look so easy. In addition, I've done this before myself. But this time no luck. I can't pinpoint the problem, other than to say that the retainer rings don't snap into place and the oil scraper ring looks offset or otherwise just not seated. Any suggestions appreciated. My pistons are County 87mm, and the Grant rings are 86mm oversized per the box label listing G1173.040 which, according to everything I find, means oversized 1mm to 87mm. Thanks all.
