Three rings are preferred by most. The fourth ring wears out the liners faster and there are few, if any, benefits to that fourth ring.

Mine had 4 rings in it when I tore it down. They were in good shape, as well as, the liners. So i re-ringed it as it was. If I have to tear back into it I will put 3 ring pistons in.

Can't remember for the life of me what the fourth ring did. I think it was an extra oil wiper (???)
