piston ring compressor - stepped cylinder
I'm sure I saw a piston ring compressor but can't rememebr where. What was special about it was that instead of being a spring steel
cylinder, it was step shaped cylinder (like you would get if you took a square profile roofing sheet and made a tube from it ; this had advantage that
there is less friction on the ring plus you can poke a screwdriver or other implement in the raised steps to help prod the ring into place.
Anyone make sense of this and if I did not imagine this, where can I buy one?

has anyone used one of these and found it is better than the band type (not exactly as locost as a big jubille clip  )

I have a long serving piece of tin and jubilee clip, always worked ok so far, splash of EP90 helps things along.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion

i have the crinkle band type, the tool had lots of burrs and sharp edges to score pistons. it works very well one the edges have been dressed.

I always used a bean can cut down the side and a jubilee clip but a few years ago I invested in a proper one, only about £5. I used lots of engine oil
with STP round the inside while I knocked the piston down with the hammer shaft and never had any problems.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
