Piston installation

[Ronnie Russell]

Many times I have been asked by newbies, " How can I compress the rings to install piston? I cant get the compressor inside the cylinder." So I made an instructional photo to help those in need. This special tool can be bought at any hardware store and comes in a variety of sizes. Bigger is better. :

You mean to tell me you use a damper installer on your pistons?

Just go to any Hardware store and ask for a "BFH"and they'll understand...
