Just install the rings on the piston and slide the piston and rod assembly down into the bore. The taper gradually compresses the rings right up until they go into the bore. They are available to fit many bore sizes, and have a black anodized finish.

BTR solid ring compressors are significant improvements over conventional compressors. Rather than relying on the piston skirt to locate the pistons as they're being inserted into the block, Brian Tooley Racing ring compressors have a small, but very important reverse chamfer at the bottom that fits into the chamfer at the top of the block, which serves two functions. First, it locates the ring compressor exactly over the center of the hole. And, secondly, it reduces the chance of the oil ring getting caught between the ring compressor and the top of the block. Crafted from alumin and black anodized, these handsome solid ring compressors feature laser etching on a black background that is easy to read and looks good, even after lots of uses. Don't catch an oil ring between the compressor and the block; employ easy-to-use BTR solid ring compressors.
