Because the ring (Marty's) is being pushed equally from all sides and also upward by cylinder pressure, the ring typically tends to stay located in one spot. Now there will always be vibration in the block but the rings should not "Fret" which is a fancy engineering name for the 'Itching' you are asking about.
