High Quality Piston Ring Compressor

[bullfrogjohnson]

I am looking for a new ring compressor. My KD crinkle type compressor is just too risky with the fragile oil rings in the dmax.

What are some good options out there? I know the bore size is 103mm (4.055"), so do i need to get a 4.060" compressor or do I need to find a metric size?

I found these and like the looks of it but I have never used a solid sleeve type, only the clamshell and adjustable band types.

Tim bought a set of those, and hates them, or last year he did, he put them in the bottom drawer and went back to his old ones.

Does Ted or Tim want to sell theirs? I think I am going to try one. I like the idiot proof factor. There is nothing like the feeling of busting a ring, especially when its not your motor
