abelincoln Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Finally getting the V-12 re-assembled. In the past I've fought with the old clamp type piston ring compressor and hated every minute of it. Well, I didn't have one that would go small enough for a 0.060 over 2 7/8 bore, so I looked for a tapered ring style, and couldn't find one. A little light came on in my head and I found a 75 mm aluminum inside tapered compressor on sale at Speedway Motors. I think its for a Honda. 75 mm is just a hair larger than my bore, but I find that I can slide a the compressor a bit with one hand while I push the piston down with my other thumb. The taper compresses the rings so the piston slides right in.Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Abe, Looks like a slick substitute for the old band compressor I've been using for all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
