Piston ring compressors
Who sells a decent set of pliers-type piston ring compressors that won't mar my pistons when I use them?
I'm thinking about maybe trying the typical 2-band ring compressor if I cant find a good pliers type. The pliers type just seem tricky to use/hard to hold the same pressure on the tool while pushing the piston in. Ideally I'd have a full array of the ARP tapered compressors, but that isn't feasible for me right now, so I just want a more universal set.
Thanks!
