Construction & Design
The ARP Ring Compressor is meticulously CNC-machined from high-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Its true-radius design is a significant upgrade over traditional tapered compressors, providing a more precise fit that conforms exactly to each bore size. This design minimizes the risk of damaging piston rings during installation, ensuring a smooth, scratch-free process.
The relieved bottom accommodates wire O-rings, making it compatible with a variety of piston configurations that utilize sealing rings for enhanced engine sealing. The prominent engraving of bore sizes in large, easy-to-read numbers allows for quick identification, reducing assembly time and errors. The Type 3 anodizing not only gives the tool a sleek, professional appearance but also adds a layer of protection against wear and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the compressor.
Installation & Fitment
The ARP Ring Compressor is designed for straightforward, bolt-on use. Its tapered, true-radius design allows it to be easily expanded and compressed around piston rings, fitting securely onto pistons of various bore sizes. No special tools, cutting, or modifications are required for installation. Simply slide the compressor over the piston rings, expand it to fit the bore, and carefully seat the rings onto the piston. The tool's precise engineering ensures a smooth, controlled process, reducing the risk of ring damage and ensuring proper seating.
