I didn't have to file my rings, and IMO I stated that I didn't think one has to...
You simply have a different opinion than me, which is just fine...
Nothing is exactly the same size, because you just have to look at it closer for it to be "different"...
My final words are follow the directions, and if the gap is reading too tight, then by all means file it down, but it is not explicitly required that you must file each ring down, just check first, if it's ok, then you don't ned to file anything...
