1st - 2nd Ring Gap Discrepancy

crackedback said
No issue with a wider gap on the second ring. If they are too tight it can trap pressure and cause the top ring to flutter (BAD)

Lots of article about this on the net

Thanks Rob. I figured as much. It was just weird to me that the gaps on the 2nd ring were that much wider out of the box than the top rings. For a second I figured they put the wrong rings in the box. I'll run them as-is.
