Oil Ring Installation
Most automobiles use three-piece oil control rings, consisting of an expander spacer in the center with two outside rails. Install them as shown in the figure below.

* Install the expander spacer, being careful not to overlap its ends.
o The ends are usually painted different colors to make it obvious to the installer if they are accidentally overlapped.
o Some expanders are filled with a Teflon button on their ends to prevent improper assembly.
o In the absence of a recommendation, position the expander gap above one end of the wrist pin.
* Next, install the rails. Installing the top rail first is easiest.
o While holding your finger over the butted ends of the expander, install the top rail.
o Position its gap above the skirt on one side of the expander spacer gap.
* Install the lower rail with its gap placed above the skirt on the opposite side of the expander gap.

first off did you get new rod bolts? and bearings?
if you dont GET THEM!!!!! you will need rod bearings... dont ever put the old ones back in.... and i hope your rist pins are new also. the rod bolts are torqued to yeild which means they stretch into place when you tighten them. so you can only use them once. your once that cam off are junk now. you can get GM replacment ones or after market... ARP has some that can withstand more power and RPMs i just got a set of these for my build. if you have the GM NEW rod bolts they must be torqued to 35 foot pounds, broken loose, and then tightened again to 35... broken lose and then tightened one last time but to 65 foot pounds this time.
