what about a ring compressor what are you guys doing ?
...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone
If you do use the sheetmetal ring compressor, be sure you get the thing very tight and hold it hard against the deck when you push the pistons in or else you'll destroy the ring land and the ring. I like to use the handle end of a rubber mallet to push them in. I gently pop them in with light blows. A bit of oil on the rings helps too. Also be sure your ring gaps are not all alighned, I usually do 180 degrees out on each level.GL
I use one like this:Can be had new at most any auto parts store, just make sure it fits the piston size.Andrew
maybe you guys could let me know what you think.
Also what do you think of the old basement engine overhual? LOL I told my friend about it and he asked " how in the hell are you getting it up the stairs?"
He also found a sleeve for the intermediate shaft.
