1. Do I have to buy a ring spreader to get the rings on? If not, any tips and tricks so I don't break the rings?
2. I don't remember if the Fiat logo on the con rods face forward or rear?

Piston rings and rods
Two questions:
1. Do I have to buy a ring spreader to get the rings on? If not, any tips and tricks so I don't break the rings?
2. I don't remember if the Fiat logo on the con rods face forward or rear?

Re: Piston rings and rods
the bearing lock tabs go on the intake side, and i dont use a spreader, i use my fingers. be careful though as you do not want to break a ring. the bearing locks are on the right side of your photo
