Actually sync rotary gaps are a ok. Async rotary spark gaps aren't good for 
any transformer but NST's are fragile so the bad effects show up. Basically 
the firing of an Async is at all different points on the sine wave so it 
might allow the voltage to rise too high before it fires.

 Is this true???
 
 If it is bad for a NST, what precautions or other measures must i make to
 make it work okay.
