Default RE: Custom Piston Rings

Hi there.
Ok so I have a brand new DLE 20cc (not broken in) and I have a few questions about those "magic" rings.
I took my engineapartjust to make sure everything was ok. There were no shavings but I noticed that the ring was very tight on the cylinder

1- From what I could read and understand on this thread, your rings do not apply a "spring force" against the cylinder? They are exactly the right size minus .001 or .002?
2- will this improve the lifespan of a gas engine?
3- should I do the breakin with the stock ring or the "magic ring"

Thanks in advance<br type="_moz" />
