Default keith black pistons

Looking to use the kb348 pistons on my 95 build. Has anyone else used these and if so, are there any special instructions I need to know prior to ordering? I have been trying to locate a set of directions that come with the pistons but I'm not having much luck. Are the instructions pretty good on what exactly needs to be done to install them correctly?

No special directions....

The pistons should include rings, wristpins, & clips.

The HD SVC manual has ring orientation and endgap specs. They will be fine to use with the KB's too....

Thanks Phil. It seems the KB pistons have a tighter clearance inside the jugs then most other pistons. I thought I read somewhere that there were more rings included with the KB and just wanted to make sure the instructions were specific as to where they go.
