This essential engine-building tool is designed to compress piston rings evenly, allowing the cylinder barrel to slide over the piston without snagging, bending, or breaking a ring. Its simple, effective design is a staple for air-cooled VW enthusiasts and professional builders alike, providing the precision needed for a reliable top-end rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eComponent Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Prevents costly damage to new rings and prevents scoring of the cylinder walls during the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTension Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Made from high-quality spring steel that provides uniform pressure around the entire circumference of the piston for a seamless fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Built to withstand the rigors of the garage environment, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your toolkit for multiple builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eUser-Friendly:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for straightforward use with common pliers; simply wrap, tension, and slide the cylinder into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 00-5764-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 83mm to 87mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Tension Spring Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSold As:\u003c\/b\u003e Individually\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eEngine Application \u0026amp; Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThis tool is specifically sized for the most common air-cooled Volkswagen engine configurations:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiston Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Engine Application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e83mm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,1,1,0\"\u003eStandard 1500cc Engines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e85.5mm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,0\"\u003eStandard 1600cc Engines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e87mm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,3,1,0\"\u003e1641cc Big Bore Kits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTech Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Before installing your cylinders, verify that the ring gaps are staggered according to your assembly manual (typically 120 degrees apart). Liberally coat the rings, piston skirts, and the inside of the compressor tool with clean engine oil. This reduces friction and allows the cylinder to seat over the rings with minimal force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EMPI INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49242099482911,"sku":"00-5764-0","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8797\/1103\/files\/00-5764-0_d25f6cb0-e96b-49dc-bb68-f017b0c68b28.jpg?v=1726111649","url":"https:\/\/shop.ipconlinestore.com\/products\/vw-piston-ring-compressor","provider":"IPC - Import Parts Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
