well after working on an engine today and breaking 2 band style ring compressors and trying that wrinkle band style that i didnt even think would work, and after bending 2 oil rings i finally figured out why these shitty compressors are so hard to get the piston into the cyl.
so if you ever try to install pistons and you hold the piston and compressor and bump it with a hammer or whatever and the rings pop out under the compressor and dont even go into the cly, try this
take a piston without rings (i used my old b20 piston while pushing in my new cp's) and clamp the both pistons top facng eachother and insert the good piston into the cly and tap the bottom of the old piston or the rod if its attached.

i used the wrinkle style and it just fit around all the rings and about 8mm or the old piston, laid the compressor on the top of theblock and tapped not even very hard and it slid right in. i didnt even have to press down on the compressor to make sure the rings cant pop out.

i guess when the piston getsalmost out of these shitty compressors the compressors taper in toward the tops and taper out at the bottom dont even squeeze the rings. so if you slide an old piston in as the new comes out the bottom it keeps its shape and keeps the rings compressed as the piston slides out the bottom.

i wish someone would have told me this it would have saved me alot of time

ps. this is the compressor i used, 12$ at kragen

i cant explain how easy it slid in using this idea.
