The Piston Ring Compressor Tool is used to install engine pistons into cylinders. This tool includes a variety of piston ring compressors that accommodate different piston sizes, ensuring a secure and accurate fit. The tool is adjustable, providing the necessary compression to allow piston rings to slide into place without damage. The primary function of the Piston Ring Compressor Tool is to compress piston rings uniformly so they can be easily inserted into the engine cylinder bore without causing damage to the rings or cylinder walls.Attributes:• Used for 28-centimeter piston.• Used to compress piston rings for piston installation on 3600 Engines (fits into the top of cylinder liner and guide piston into the cylinder).• Used with an overhead lifting device to lower the piston/connecting rod assembly into the cylinder.• Guide arms hold rings in ring grooves to prevent liner damage during piston insertion.• Guides are hardened (RKW C58-62) and black oxide coated for long wear and resistance to corrosion.Applications: The Piston Ring Compressor Tool is primarily used in the engine assembly area of equipment maintenance and repair workshops. It is found in the engine repair toolkits or sections dedicated to engine overhauls and rebuilds.
