[Fot] piston ring question

[John Wagner]

     Wiseco says: The gap on the second ring should always be larger than the
top ring end gap, this will help to reduce top ring 
flutter or lifting.
That's right off they're installation "pink" sheet.  Maybe some piston
manufacture think different. I would go my what
your piston manufacture says.
