Squeezing things

The tool worked well, it's the only way I can get the piston back into the engine without breaking the rings, I've used other types of ring compressors but this is the type I like best.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Having problems

For the money it will do the job🤞

It worked but it took a lot of effort to squeeze it tight enough to compress the rings at the joint in the tool where the sleeve overlaps the square tool in a vise and I was able to clamp it tight enough. The 7th piston had trouble staying where I had it set. When I put it on deck it fell out and it jumped out. It worked in the end, but I threw it away when I was done. Although it got me past the v8 build for the price, I gave it 3 stars. Two and a half if they had half!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
