Not Ranked
Well, we've established before that piston rings do rotate around during engine operation. With a blown engine like that I can almost imagine that cylinder pressure bleeding through the ring gaps and seeking the path of least resistance, tends to stabilize the ring gaps in a row after they coincidently line up.
Not sure I explained that very clearly.
