Lovely stuff Blue...I could have lent you a proper bearing scraper mate, you only had to ask!

Now you tell me, I've been trying to buy one for weeks!

For file fit rings you'll be needing one of these, works so much better than a live angle grinder clamped between your knees..

I bought a pair of rod bolt extensions and a bore specific tapered piston installer. I can highly recommend them, the pistons slip in really easily compared to any other method I've used.

Blue, they are a good tool & an angle grinder just doesn't compare.

I would advise practising on an old ring, in order to get the feel for material removal. Once I got into the habit, it was quick & accurate.

Bit like spiro locs, pain in the arse at first, but once you get into a rythem not too bad, fingers ache for a while though

Yea, I struggled with the first few spiro loks, but once you get the hang of it they are pretty easy to fit. Sod getting them out though....

I gave a set to Geof Hauser to use on my engine once.

He gave me them back and used his usual clips.

Tapered piston installer looks a helpfull tool, much better than my expandle spring steel type I have.

As for the rod bolt extensions, I just use festo plastic tubing, nice snug fit & stops bolts from causing any scratching, nicks, etc. cheap solution & worked fine for me
