    If you have a set bore you are working with, this tool is amazing to use. Soo much better then any adjustable one I have used in the past. It was so easy, I thought something was wrong.

    One of the best investments I’ve made.

    These are inexpensive enough for the shade tree mechanic to own even if you only do 1 motor. I have used the universal ratcheting band type and have cut both hands. This tool makes installing pistons a breeze.

    Have always used a ratcheting style clamp to set pistons in and sometimes have issues where Id have to start over, but with this device the positions dropped right into cylinder with a couple of taps.

    A awesome tool and well worth the money if your rebuilding a 4.8l or 5.3l ls engine.

    Just a quick review to say thank you for producing a great quality tool at a reasonable price. I finally did my 5.3 LS rebuild over the weekend and this ring compressor was indispensable. No sliced fingers, no crooked pistons! I will buy another one every time I need to rebuild a different size engine.

Checkered Flag Performance 3.780" tapered piston ring compressors make installing piston rings a simple and easy part of your engine build or rebuild. Install your rings onto your piston, then slide the piston / ring assembly into the tapered bore of the ring compressor until the piston skirt starts to come out the bottom of the tool. Insert the piston skirt into the cylinder bore and allow the tool to sit flat on the cylinder deck. Press the piston assembly through the tool and into the cylinder bore. The tapered, true radius inner diameter of the tool compresses the rings as you push it through. Use assembly lube or engine oil to ease installation. Do not be fooled by the low price, these are high quality, well made tools suitable for the professional technician as well as shade-tree mechanics and hobbyists. You can pay for a big brand name, or you can add this high quality tool to your set at a much lower price. This ring compressor is a bore specific fixed size (3.780 inch) and non-adjustable. This piston ring installation tool has a lifetime warranty. It is recommended to use a piston groove cleaner tool, piston ring gap filer (or grinder), ring squaring tool, piston ring installer tool (or ring expander pliers) and engine assembly lubricant to help ensure that your engine rebuilding project goes smoothly.
