I did this for the first time a month ago on my H. The new oil rings were different than the old ones that I took off. There were 4 pieces to the old oil ring and only three for the new one. The old one had a thin piece of wavy metal that layed flat in the groove, then there was a grooved ring that went on top and was sandwiched by the two thin "rails". The new ring had the two thin "rails", and the ring looked like a piece of the corrugated metal you find in a furnace filter. At any rate, I did not see the original wavy metal piece(thought it was part of the piston), and put the new ring on top of it. Needless to say, the ring would not fully compress and I couldn't get the pistons in for the life of me. I am a total novice, so I apologize if this is a no brainer, but just in case, I thought I'd share this...
