I hope you meant honed smooth and not sanded smooth.Since I haven't replaced rings in GY6 but have in MANY other types of engines I can't provide exact information- But I'm sure someone will jump in that has. In the pic I see 3 slots for a ring, But this doesn't mean only 3 rings are used. Usually the bottom slot is your oil rings (3) Are the rings in the kit all the same?There's an order that the rings are usually installed- did the kit come with instructions about this? do you remember where the original rings were from top to bottom?.Rarely can you pull rings from a pack and not have to file the end gap so knowing that specification is critical.
