I couldn’t find my piston ring compressor. I haven’t used it for a bout a year and it seems in that time it’s grown legs and walked off somewhere.
Anyway I wasn’t going to let this stop me so I put my redneck hat on and found a fox’s biscuit tin to cut up.
put a jubilee clip round it and there we go. 1 home brew piston ring compressor
torqued up the set of ARP rod bolts
then wound the head studs in
I did want to pressure test the intake ports and see at what point they leak but that’ll have to wait until next weekend now as I ended up having to go on a rescue mission
