Default Piston Ring Compressor

So looked on the archives for this but couldn't find anything, seeing as we have some good ideas about the issues for the valve spring compressor anyone got any advice on the piston ring compressor ??

Hints for installation etc ???

Thanks

Chris

I think if you buy one from Summitracing.com it should probably work.

Thanks Brendon, looking at their site they are all for 4" or greater, 100mm = 3.93" so seems out of luck there.

Looks like they are very precise though.

If the bores are chamfered right, any ring compressor should work, so long as it can go down to the right diameter. Also, I bet a 4" unit will clamp down that extra .07"
