    The almost bigger trick than good ring compressors is to make some kind of device that will hold the block and crank case more or less aligned, as the come together. This frees up your fingers to guide the rings in with your fingers nails, Popsicle sticks, etc. It also helps to be very generous with the oil.

    Long live American manufacturing!
