Community ring compressor...
Title says it. I need a ring compressor for stock 1.8 pistons/ rings. I recently honed my 2000 block, need to install new. Hook me up bros. Paid shipping to/ from.

I was looking for a tapered one like this:
Wiseco Tapered Ring Compressor Sleeves RCS08300 83mm 3 268" Fits Universal 0 | eBay
That's no fun though...compared to a box of ****** I mean.

I used this one years ago to install my pistons in my built motor and it worked fine. I am pretty sure I leant it out to a friend to use and have never gotten it back. At $8 I will just buy another one when I need it.

The tapered ring compressors do make life easy compared to what's posted here. We make B&B's, I'll check the scrap bin for an 83mm. I found an 84.5 compressor for my engine in the scrap because it was engraved wrong.

During my ordering, I decided to ship instead of store pickup. It came today. Piston #4 is the only one I had rings on, and I just got home from work. Just decided to tap it home just to try this thing out. Works amazing.
Thanks again Lars.
