    Works excellent for a stock rebuild on a 5.3 ls. Pistons slide right into the block no problem.

    Made installing the pistons in my 5.3 lm7 a cake walk. The top starts off wide and when you push the piston down it gradually closes the ring gap to fit in the bore. Yes Ill probably only use this 2 or 3 times MAYBE, but it is worth the 20 bucks to compress the rings down to fit easliy

    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.

    If you have a set bore you are working with, this tool is amazing to use. Soo much better then any adjustable one I have used in the past. It was so easy, I thought something was wrong.

Checkered Flag Performance 3.780" tapered piston ring compressors make installing piston rings a simple and easy part of your engine build or rebuild. Install your rings onto your piston, then slide the piston / ring assembly into the tapered bore of the ring compressor until the piston skirt starts to come out the bottom of the tool. Insert the piston skirt into the cylinder bore and allow the tool to sit flat on the cylinder deck. Press the piston assembly through the tool and into the cylinder bore. The tapered, true radius inner diameter of the tool compresses the rings as you push it through. Use assembly lube or engine oil to ease installation. Do not be fooled by the low price, these are high quality, well made tools suitable for the professional technician as well as shade-tree mechanics and hobbyists. You can pay for a big brand name, or you can add this high quality tool to your set at a much lower price. This ring compressor is a bore specific fixed size (3.780 inch) and non-adjustable. This piston ring installation tool has a lifetime warranty. It is recommended to use a piston groove cleaner tool, piston ring gap filer (or grinder), ring squaring tool, piston ring installer tool (or ring expander pliers) and engine assembly lubricant to help ensure that your engine rebuilding project goes smoothly.
