first off its pretty easy.... you need a spring compresser or w/e that wide plyer is.. that closes the spring around the pistons.. putting it on and sitting it in the cyl is pretty easy.. just make sure you follow a good break in process, what is it that you need help with.

Get a Helms manual. The rings need to spaced a certain way and the Helms manual will show you a nice pictoral of it.

oil scraper, put those three around the pin, like bottom ring, to one side of the pin, put the oil scraper on the other side, and then put the top oil scraper ring back where the bottom one was, for the 2nd compression right, put it 90 degrees away from either side of the pin, in the middle of the piston, and the top compression right 180 off of the other compression ring. pretty easy as mentioned before.
