any advice on buying one?

ie where to get it from? what type is better if at all?

cheers

 

Ones ive used are just a band of springy steel with a square type allen key bolt to do them up.

Only cost a few quid, and work just fine.

The key thing is keeping them in contact with the block during fitment, and not to force anything, if it feels like its not going to go then stop trying!

I use the wooden end of a hammer to very lightly tap my pistons down into the bores, literally just lift it up an inch or so and let it lightly tap them.

 

yeah ive seen the allen types, jus all the ones ive used before have been borrowed now i aint got one available to me i guess i need to invest in me own

ill pop down n have a look at halfrauds, mite take it back when im done with it if it aint damaged

 

there are some with a wrinkled band, I think these maybe better as they cannot be pushed in top of bore, will need to get one myself this year.

 

aaah, ill have a look for one of them then, ta
