I got my Zeda 80 kit in the mail today and the first thing I did was pull it apart to check for manufacturing defects, it actually looks very solid. But to my dismay as I tried to reassemble the top piston ring wouldn't go back into its groove so everything could be put back together it instead snapped. Is this a common occurance?
 
yes, I'm a full time repair shop for only these motors - snapped ring is most common noob fail I see

be sure all pieces can be laid out to form a complete ring unless you want some missing piece to get involved with your lower end bearings later
