There is no possible way to get those pistons into the cylinders. Tried both can style and pliers style compressors. The latter is the way to go because my (cheap) can style compressor would rotate the ring gaps as I tightened it. Even with a decent pliers style compressor I could not keep that thin oil scraper ring from peeking out below the compressor and halting my progress.
Finally I got one installed with home made addition to the tool, picture below.
I wish there were some non adjustable tapered compressors like for small block Chevy, the pistons virtually fall into the cylinders with those.
Five more to go, mañana cuz it’s whiskey time.
