One more thing...in my many years of slingin' wrench...back when we used to actually "overhaul" automotive engines, I found many a fouling cylinder caused by the ring gaps lining up. The piston rings are actually elliptical in shape and they do rotate in the bore with time and miles. If a ring stops rotating the eliptical shape is worn into the cylinder, as the other rings rotate, they will kinda "fall in" to that irregular wear and lessen if not line up the distance between the gaps. I have seen this especially on engines rebuilt by all the backyard bozos that think they know what they are doing, and don't place the rings properly on the piston during ressembly. On Diesel engines, this little phenomena will shoot the oil dipstick right out of the engine bay on compression. Kinda comical.
