Default in need of an 81.25mm piston ring compressor - sleeve style like ARP

i'm lookig for an 81.25mm piston ring compressor - similar to the ARP style.

pic:



i called ARP directly and they told me that it is $250+ for a "special order" size with a 3 month turnaround... not going to do that.

yes, i know that the old style adjustable compressors work, but i'd rather have this style.

so, anyone have a working link to an 81.25mm compressor, or have a GOOD one they want to sell?

thanks -

Summit sells an adjustable tapered ring compressor, that's as close as you will get to 81.25mm.

Just get an adjustable one. Cheap, tried and proven. No point in spending big bucks for something you don't use every day.
