Akerly-Childs Tapered Piston Ring Compressor Bore

The Akerly-Childs Tapered Piston Ring Compressor line gives engine builders a fast, controlled way to compress piston rings while installing pistons into the cylinder bore. Each compressor is a tapered-style tool made from aluminum. It is also sold as a ring compressor, piston ring installer or piston installation tool. Each one is sized for a specific bore diameter.

Key Features:

• Tapered design that squeezes the rings evenly as the piston is guided into the bore
• Billet aluminum construction that is light, durable and easy to handle
• Sized by bore diameter, so each compressor fits its intended cylinder size closely
• Sold individually, with one compressor per listing
• Made in the USA by Akerly & Childs, a maker of performance engine components and related tools

Akerly & Childs also makes piston rings, engine bearings and related engine assembly tools. These compressors suit professional engine shops, racers and home builders who want smooth, repeatable piston installation. Choose the bore size that matches your engine.
