If i remember right, the second ring is all dark, with a dot on one side, that faces up. The top ring is the black ring with silver edge. Someone else should clarify this first though. It was a while ago that i built my motor, and i dont know if that is 100% positive. I'm pretty sure thats right though.

It's you're lucky day, bro! I just happened to have this wonderful pic for you from when I was in the same predicment...



EDIT: They are both marked if I remember right. There is a dot near the gap on the tops of each ring. It's not really easy to see, but after you give your friend a swift kick in the ass for causing all this trouble, you should wipe them off good and look at them very closley.

WOOT!!! emoji

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
