The only time the gaps in the rings are spaced correctly is when you put them there. As soon as the motor is running they are constantly rotating in their grooves. Spacing ring gaps is a wives tale that has been proven to not matter at all.
False.

Spacing ring gaps on assembly is required for optimal break in on high performance engines.

Make your own decision. Take 1 second to stagger the rings, as every piston manufacturer suggests to do, or take marcs advice and line the gaps up.
