Piston Ring Compressor
An engine piston ring compressor tool is a specialized tool used during engine assembly to compress the piston rings for installation into the engine block cylinder. The tool typically consists of a split ring that fits around the piston, which is then compressed with a handle to hold the rings in place while the piston is inserted into the engine cylinder. The piston ring compressor tool is critical to ensure that the piston rings are properly compressed, which helps prevent damage to the rings and ensures proper sealing within the engine cylinder. Improper installation of piston rings can result in engine oil consumption, poor engine performance, and even engine damage.
