Hi I am rebuilding the engine in my gsi I am a bit stuck on the piston rings as to what order they go in. I no the top two but I am unsure What order the bottom three go in. Do they go ring, mesh ring, ring or ring, ring, mesh ring or do the two rings go inside the mesh ring. I don't no how they came of because I took the engine to the engine builders and they took it apart to measure for new rings and shells. Any help would be great thanks

the rings are on either side of the spacer 'mesh'

check the rings aren't sided. usually there is a way up and a way down.

its in the Haynes book but you can see a similar setup here
