• Relieved to accommodate wire O-rings on the bottom, making it suitable for engines with O-ringed pistons.
• Type 3 anodizing finish enhances corrosion resistance and prolongs tool life, even in harsh workshop environments.
• Prominently engraved bore size markings in 3/4 inch high numbers allow for quick identification and selection, streamlining your workflow.
• Designed for bore sizes up to 4.600 inches, covering a broad spectrum of engine rebuild needs.
• Precision CNC machining ensures consistent quality and a perfect fit every time.
• Easy to use, with a smooth sliding action that helps seat piston rings evenly without damaging them.

Construction & Design

The ARP Ring Compressor (900-6000) is crafted from high-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The CNC-machined construction guarantees precise dimensions and a smooth surface finish, which is critical for preventing scratches or damage to piston rings during installation. The true-radius tapered design is engineered to match the bore profile accurately, providing a secure fit that minimizes ring distortion or misalignment.

The tool features reliefs to accommodate wire O-rings, making it compatible with engines that utilize O-ringed pistons for improved sealing. The Type 3 anodizing not only enhances durability but also gives the tool a professional, long-lasting finish. The prominent engraved markings facilitate quick identification, reducing assembly time and increasing efficiency during engine rebuilds.
