RE: Ring Gap Spacing

Only thing I can tell you then, would be an educated guess, assuming you are positive that you installed them differently than you found them.

My guess is that the rings were loose in the ring-lands/bore: i.e. the wrong rings for the pistons/cylinders.

I've spoken to a couple different people about it, one who's been building engines for 20 years, and they've never seen it happen either, but both suggested that it was because the rings were loose/wrong sized.
This thread, so far...
