Been away for a while, but need to finish up the engine. Crank is installed, the 3 oil internal oil plugs are in and now on to the piston assemblies. I'm looking at the new Hasting rings from MM and I'm puzzled on how to install the oil control ring.

The installation instructions from Hasting are for standard 3 piece spring spacer and an upper and lower ring. Since the A4 using a two piece spacer the spring leaves about an inch gap around the piston. With the T-shaped slot on the side does it matter where I leave the gap?

Any one have A4 specific installation instructions for these pesky rings?
