Very good point (forgot about that)!!

Lining up all of the end gaps would not be a "good thing"!!

Using the wooden handle of a mallet or hammer is the generally accepted
method for installing pistons.
No, they won't just slide in, you have to use some force.
Three piece rings are supposed to have the gaps spaced 120 degrees apart.
