[Shop-talk] Piston Rings Pliers

[PJ McGarvey]

These have worked fine for me https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009OMYC4/ rebuilding my LS1 Miata.

You can also do it by hand, but never tried.

Most auto-parts places should have them for about $10. My local O'Reily's has them for $9.99. No waiting for shipping, and you're more likely to get an actual one, and not a Chinese knockoff!

Jeff, I'm sure what Pat suggests will work with the LS you're installing in the Spitfire. Should be a hoot when finished!

Thanks for posting your question so THATSwhat those pliers are in my tool chest! I haven’t used them yet but am starting an engine rebuild coming up.

As to which to buy, I’d go with the Lisle 33500 on eBay for $10. USA made.

Peace,
Pat

Assembling my Spitfire engine.  Bought quality piston rings, so I figure I ought to use the proper tools to install them.  Anything magic about them, or will any $10 pair from Amazon work just fine?
