    Before Louis found these ring compressors I took a 1/2″ PVC pipe, cut a 1″ piece off, then cut into quarters. Face radi towards piston ring & compress on the piston. Only advantage here is a guy can see if the ends of the ring are placed correctly on the guide pins. Use a zip tie to compress the ring & cut off after piston install.
    For everyone who can’t wait for the mail.
