- 1). Coat the installed piston rings and the inside of a piston ring compressor with 10W30 motor oil.
- 2). Push the latch located on the side of the piston ring compressor away from the tool.
- 3). Spin the piston rings to stagger the ring seams. Slide the ring compressor over the top of the piston. Push the latch towards the side of the compressor.
- 4). Select a socket from a socket set that matches the size of the bolt located on the side of the piston ring compressor. Attach the socket to a 3/8-inch ratchet handle.
- 5). Turn the bolt clockwise until the compressor sits tight against the sides of the piston.
- 6). Slide the piston rod into the combustion cylinder until the compressor sits on top of the engine block.
- 7). Tap on the top of the piston with the wooden handle of a hammer until the piston rests inside of the combustion cylinder and no part of the piston remains in the piston ring compressor.
