@nekon03: I would love some advice from small engine mechanics. I have been online looking at Ring compressors, but none of them look like they would fit in the throat of this cylinder. At least not far enough down to keep the rings compressed to make an easy transition. There has to be some trick or tool that I don’t know about. I would love your advice. #smallenginemechanic #smallengine #smallenginerepair #keeganssmallengine #stihl

make sure your notches on your piston is lined up with your notches on your rings and slide it right on in

I never have used a tool. Just gotta make sure the rings are lined up with the pin on the piston and it should compress it self .
