Disclaimer: this is JUST my own understanding. This has been a suspected potential issue for a while, but some other well known tuners on this board have somewhat debunked this. The rationale is that butted rings should have scored the cyl walls, but doesnt seem to be the case. Evidence seems to point to just manufacturing difference and luck.
