    So first thing to know is the rings rotate in the bores as they go up and and down so don't stress too much. But for the argument I set the oil rings 180 apart from each other and find a spot on the piston im happy with. Then the 2nd ring goe's as far away as you can get it from the "top oil ring" gap. Then the top ring is 180 opposite the 2nd ring gap. 
     
    But the rings still rotate in the bores at there own rate anyway so don't be too concerned.

    They spin in the bores. If they do not spin you wipe cam lobes.

    Mine revs to 8200 yet drives around at 2000 around town very easy? Sits on 3150 for 100kph thru a 5700 convertor🤷🏼‍♂️
     
    But do relate the above to performance engines. Just it has solid info that is helpful for use on a build.
