Checkered Flag Performance 3.780 Tapered Piston Ring Compressor

Good finish and great fitment. Ill never use a clamp style again unless its a one time thing. Even let a friend of mine with next to no mechanical knowledge pop a couple pistons in and had no issues.

Junk

These style ping ring compressors are hands down the best. Totally worth the money and they make installing pistons into cylinders a breeze with the rings installed. The only downside is having to buy for all cylinder configurations. Highly recommend!

This is the king of ring installers , no more fighting the compressed style . Slide in from bottom , and can actually tap pistons in cylinder by hand.

Add some lube set the piston in so the skirts are out the bottom then set in the cylinder sleeve dot on the piston toward the front of the motor and push piston down and tap with a rubber mallet. That easy.

Works perfect

A awesome tool and well worth the money if your rebuilding a 4.8l or 5.3l ls engine.

Works great best money spent on a ring compressor

Just finished installing all 8 pistons on my 5.3l build. Works great and is easier to use than the adjustable band style. Only down side is if you change bore size you have to buy another one relating to the new bore size. But, at $20, its worth it. Great tool!

Worked perfectly for 5.3 ls pistons
