How do you use piston ring compressor with pusher?

Using Piston Ring Compressor with Pusher

1. Prepare the piston ring compressor.

- Assemble the piston ring compressor following the manufacturer's instructions.

- Ensure that the compressor is the correct size for the piston rings you are installing.

2. Install the piston rings.

- Place the piston ring expander on the piston.

- Position the top piston ring in the expander.

- Use the piston ring compressor to compress the rings and insert them into the piston groove.

- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining piston rings.

3. Install the piston ring pusher.

- Place the piston ring pusher on top of the piston rings.

- Use the pusher to push the rings down into the piston grooves until they are seated properly.

4. Remove the piston ring compressor and pusher.

- Once the piston rings are installed, remove the piston ring compressor and pusher.

- Be careful not to damage the rings when removing the tools.

5. Double-check the piston rings.

- Before installing the piston into the cylinder, double-check that the piston rings are properly seated in the grooves.

- If the rings are not properly seated, they can damage the piston and cylinder walls.
