Trick Tools #12: Piston Ring Compressors
Mike Nixon




For those engines whose cylinders still attach to the crankcases, the ring compressors sold by the factories are really handy, if not mandatory. Here is a collection mostly from Honda and Yamaha. Each set of two like-size compressors is marked and color-coded, and fits a nominal range, such as 65mm~67mm. You don't know how painless installing a cylinder block can be until you try these!
