Whats the deal with the KB 243's, good or not?

Yes you have to increase Top ring gap per instructions. I read a thread where they recommended increasing 2nd ring as well just not as much. They did a test and found this did not make piston use oil as well. I did this with mine but can't comment on results as of yet as I'm waiting for my crank balancing to get done.
Ok. What's the theory behind this? Is the heat from the high ring placement going to close the large gap? I don't want to worry about lost compression.
