Rings can rotate during their life so there are no original ring positions. Always give a light hone before installing new or old rings to help bed them in. .

Cant find the link on running in a motor but if you are using old pistons, a few squirts on the accelerator with a back of is all that is required.

Have you ever see race cars do 10000 miles as slow speed to run them in ?

New pistons, new hone, 2 - 3 heat cycles and pedal to the floor.

Quite and old video of mine.
