Got new pistons for a late B and the kit includes a thin scalloped sheet metal ring that goes behind the bottom oil ring according to the picture in the lacking instructions. I dont see it referenced in the manuals. Should it be used or discarded?
 
So if you don't understand something in the parts and instructions, you should send it back the vendor? What kind of advice is that?
 
Didn't look like he didn't understand the instructions. More like he didn't have any faith or trust
in the instructions. Thus my reply which seems to have gone over your head. Notice I said to use the
back-up rings.
 
There were no instructions. Only pictures of various versions of what you may make received in the kit. I'll put them in.

Thanks
 
That's what the set of rings for my B came with. I believe you're supposes to stagger the ends of those away from the oil ring.
 
Pete, when people come asking for advice, they generally want to know the why as well as the how. Compare your answer to ones that John T or others give. They give informative answers that don't belittle people, unlike yours. One way makes people feel welcome in the hobby and the other makes them reluctant to ask any other questions of people here because people don't like to be talked down to. That was my point, but I guess it went over your head.
 
The thin corrugated ring is a tensioner for the oil ring to insure contact with the cylinder wall and is always used in automotive applications. Larger bore tractors often use just a heavy, high tension oil ring, which I don't feel controls oil as well.
