427 Engine Build Ring Compressor
|
When the piston is loaded with rings, it goes into a ring compressor. This compressor uses a bore tapered from top to bottom to drive the rings toward their seat. The soft rubber end of a mallet is used to persuade the piston into the bore. Care is taken on the other side of the block to make sure the connecting rod doesn’t damage either the bore surface or the crank journal on its way into the crankcase. View Related Article
