Checkered Flag Performance 3.780 Tapered Piston Ring Compressor

Works perfect

Makes piston install very easy! Fit perfectly. Make sure u order for the correct bore size

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.

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

A+

Worked perfectly. Easier than the old school band clamp style. No hung rings. A little atf to lube the inner surface and tapped right in.

Used this on my LM7 rebuild. I use stock sized pistons and rings and this tool made installing the ringed pistons into the cylinders a breeze. HIGHLY recommend. Personally prefer this over the adjustable compressors as you know you wont be making it too tight or too loose. Obviously the only trade off is having to buy an individual compressor for each engine build assuming you have different cylinder sizes on your other builds.

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!

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.

Works as it should, makes the job fast and easy
