One of the best tools I have ever used : http://www.arp-bolts.com/pages/produ...s/to_ring.html
Pistons slid in smooth, could not even tell when the rings were going past the lip of the cylinder. Don't think I will ever use a different piston ring compressor again.

 

Cool, how much are they?

 

Cost me $55 including shipping. Each tool is bore specific, and since both of my engines are 84mm, it was well worth it.( I tear my motors apart as often as some people change their oil.)

 

i wonder how they compare to moroso ... ?

no 86mm ?

They have way more applications than Moroso. Moroso does not have an 84mm.

 

I have one for the 87mm in my h22, I've used the tighten down spring type, and I love the arp one. So much easier, and very hard to bind. 55+shipping

where can i order a 81.00 mm 1 from?

 

I think I'll order a set...

 

they are the **** huh!!! ill never use the spring tightening ones again

its pretty cool you just put them in the top and slide them down

Back from the dead. I bought an 85mm and an 86mm since this post. They still work awesome!

ARP, or any ARP distributor. Check the link in the original post.

just wondering, how do you guys use those? i cant seem to figure out how the rings will fit in those without getting it pushed into the pistons first and then being able to slide in.... any help? is it a lot easier to use than the ratcheting one?

 

You install the rings on the piston, position the rings, then slide the piston/ring assembly into the compressor (sitting on top of the cylinder bore) which acts like a funnel. Tap the piston gently on the top with a plastic or rubber mallet until the piston rings clear the top of the bore.

 

I need to try these....I've used the cheapo napa ones....those suck. Broke a ring once. was gonna buy the plier style, but waited for commments on these first

 

I have used the normal compressor ones from, I have had good luck with it, but I have been dying to try the ARP ones, I think I am gonna get a set..

oh ok so it is tapered then right?

 

summit . That ring compressor is what they use at the factory back in 1901

Yes-big on the top and tapers down to bore size at the bottom.

 

I used this type of compressor on my motor and is the best and easy piston compressor I ever used.

 

which should i get for an 81.25MM bore? 81MM or 81.5MM?

 

i like my snap-on set hehe

 

nah...i bought that one..gave it back I didnt like it at all..but to each their own

It depends of which piston size you have. They don't have the 81.25mm. It's a special order Item. I ordered me one of this size so I can put stock pistons that is 81.25 oversize. I have most sizes for the B-series from 81mm to 85mm. I'd never use another compressor other than these ones. They are awesome. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 1.6i &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">nah...i bought that one..gave it back I didnt like it at all..but to each their own
