    Okay, this is probably a really dumb question because I have never done
    this before...but I was trying to install piston rings today on my
    Yamaha DT80 and a few things happened:

    First off, The two new rings I got were not the same (one was greenish
    and slightly rough and one was metallic). What is the difference? Does
    it matter where they go? Secondly, I tried to install the cylinder over
    the piston and it cracked both rings because they *seemed* to be too
    large, even though my rings were standard size. Any suggestions? These
    were OEM rings.

    Thanks!
