Ring gap orientation and the 83 FSM

Ring gap orientation and the 83 FSM
I don't have my computer handy, or I'd show you what the picture of the diagram for the piston ring gaps.
It looks like some sort of strange religious symbol with a bunch of degrees thrown in to make it impossibly confusing.
I have an 82 2.4L 4 cyl, and I am going to be putting the motor together hopefully tomorrow. I *need* to know just what they mean by the diagram.
Please, can someone help me?

Do those apply to the 82 2.4 l pickup? No, the pic I am talking about is three or four x's drawn in a circle with degrees between some of the lines. it is insanely confusing. But those pictures are very simple and easy to understand.
#5
Same general idea. Just 60°/120° offset from each other and 30° offset from center(top to bottom). Instead of 90°/90° offset from each other and 45° offset from center(top to bottom).

Now that I look at it, the two twenty degree marks threw me off.
What are those spikes sticking out from the piston itself? Is that the ideal orientation?
#7
They are imaginary lines representing the gap widths of the 4 individual rings, and where they should be oriented in relation to the piston face.
Like those in the pic below(just much skinnier in the pic above).
Yes. Though, for whatever reason, they decided that it wasn't ideal on later versions of the same engine.
