Default RE: Inserting piston ring

Bummer....take a piece of dowel rod, or wood....put it on top of the piston.
Lift the engine off the bench, holding it by the cylinder with your fingers....

....and give the dowel a whack. Knock the piston down and out of the cylinder.
You might get lucky, and only need a new ring. Do not dispair....learning this
engine stuff is not easy by yourself.
