I'm not convinced.


The depth appears to be somewhat on the order of .005" or so, IMHO. The width is a bit more...........maybe .010.

This would be quite a bit less than a ring gap and the ring gap is too small to noticeably affect compression.

There probably is insufficient time for the air to pass such a gap to affect the compression number.
