The LICOTA ATA-0385D Stainless Steel Piston Ring Compressor is designed to compress piston rings during engine assembly, helping technicians install pistons into engine cylinder bores. Featuring a stainless steel compression band, ratchet-type tightening mechanism with a supplied spanner and adjustable safety screws, this tool accommodates compatible piston diameters from 90 mm to 175 mm. Suitable for automotive garages, professional workshops and home engine maintenance applications.
A piston ring compressor is an essential tool used during engine assembly and rebuilding. Piston rings normally expand outward from their grooves. The compressor temporarily holds them in a compressed position so the piston can enter the engine cylinder bore.
The LICOTA ATA-0385D uses a stainless steel compression band to surround the piston rings. Its ratchet-type mechanism allows the band to be tightened around compatible piston sizes, helping keep the rings compressed during installation.
Follow these general steps when installing a piston:
Install the piston rings correctly in their grooves and position the ring gaps according to the engine manufacturer's instructions.
Place the stainless steel compressor band around the piston rings. Ensure the band is correctly positioned and sits evenly.
Adjust the compressor to the piston diameter. Use the ratchet mechanism and supplied spanner to tighten the band evenly.
Place the compressed piston squarely at the cylinder bore opening, following the engine manufacturer's installation procedure.
Guide the piston into the cylinder using controlled, gentle pressure. Never force the piston if resistance is felt.
After the piston is correctly installed, release the ratchet mechanism and remove the compressor carefully.
Always check that the piston diameter is within the 90-175 mm capacity. Follow the engine manufacturer's ring-gap positioning and installation instructions. Ensure the compressor is correctly aligned and never force a piston into the cylinder bore.
