Default RE: Ring gap location

There are no ports on a 4-stroke so no ring orientation.

I have seen 2-strokes that have pins to locate the ring on the piston but you can tell when they are present because the ring has clearance for them on the ends. If the ends of the ring are flat, there's no way for the ring to stay where you put it, therefore no reason to put it in any certain position.
