Make sure the ring landings are clean. Make sure the ring end gap is correct. Make sure that you follow the instructions when they tell you where the ring gaps should be positioned.

I wasn't sure if they were new or not
 To check ring end gap you will each ring from piston 1 into cylinder 1, one at a time. Make sure that the ring is installed level by pushing the piston down on the ring (don't push the ring into the cylinder too far). Use a feeler gauge (the tool you use to measure valve lash) to measure how far apart the ring ends are. Then use a file to widen them if the need it, make sure to debur the edges after filing. __________________

No problem, those are really rough instructions. Do a google search if you want more specific instructions.
