I do not know what the back clearance is Lee. You mentioned that it should be a minimum of 0.005" but if it is significantly greater, due to the ring cross section width, then stability does become an issue that will be exacerbated by higher side clearance. I'm more concerned about longevity than flutter.

Have you checked the ring cross section width & compared it to a new stock ring? I can get you that measurement from a new one if you like. This was one of the principal concerns with the Total Seal rings. It would be nice to resolve this.
