Knowing our crank was good to go, Kyle moved on to install the eight piston and rod assemblies. There are some nice tapered ring compressors on the market, but dear old dad built his first engine with the ring compressor shown, so we thought it would be a nice hand-me-down image for Kyle to use the same tool. With the crank throw rotated away from the bore being worked on and the deck surface facing up, the piston and rod assembly was carefully tapped into the bore after a liberal application of oil on the piston and cylinder wall. Listen for any change in the sound of the assembly being tapped into place, as it could mean a ring is catching the edge of the block! View Related Article
