These ARP ring piston ring compressors are the shiznitt!






The fruits of the tools work:




One is 84mm, the other is 85mm. The tool works like a funnel, and the pistons slide in like butta!

Where did you find them? I have been wanting to pick one up for a while now.

I hate the clamp style compressor.

Got them from ARP directly-they make more sizes than anyone else. Moroso makes the same style ring compressor, but they don't have as many sizes.

Total with tax and shipping was $55 and change, each. Bought the 84mm one last year, and got the 85mm one in July.

thats a bit expensive. You can get a regular piston ring compressor for half of that and it'll do all these different sizes, mind you those are some pretty trick pieces.

You can borrow it any time, Trever; it works better than any other style ring compressor that I have tried. Just don't forget to bring it back.

I used a Crinkcle style I borrowed and it worked really well. Didn't have any problems getting the rings to hold in place and they slid in peachy
