when installing the rings, I always make sure the gaps are in equal distances from eachother. It only matters on initial startup, as they begin to spin and move around once you start it anyways. dont put too much oil on the oil rings either. just a light coat to help them slide in the bore. Too much can cause the oil to get stuck in the oil ring and start burning.
I dip a CLEAN finger in oil, and run it once around the outside of the rings, once in the bore, and once on my tapered ring compressor. but thats just me

no ring should split straight above the pin hole nor split in the same spot as another ring, On ring gaps i would open up the second ring a touch more, if you get blow by you want it to go head and let it go threw or you could lift the top ring land, (thats my opinion on this)
