Golf Mk2 Piston Ring Compressor (81mm)

thingiverse

Here is a Simple Piston Ring Compressor for all EA827 with 81mm bore, or other engines that share this bore size. Just use a huge hose clamp to compress the rings - not too tight, just lightly secured. I worked fine and got videos as well, but still need to cut and upload them yet. To prevent damage, apply oil on the inside of the compressor so the rings can slide smoothly without cutting into any plastic components. There shouldn't be any plastics between the rings and the groove. Have fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dJdATMTeSw
