Frank,
I remember a guy who worked with us at the Corvair shop. He had a collection of tapered ring compressers for different bores for Chevy’s. They were very nice to work with. Start the piston in the tool, insert into the bore & tap the piston in, Very easy. Only item is the ring locators in the 2 strokemotor. I like the idea of seeing them compress into place using 1/4 sections of 1/2" PVC pipe & zip ties. A guy can see them go into place & not hurt anything using plastic against the metal parts.
I had a hard time with a KF5 until I built this tool. 😉
