<div dir="ltr">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!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jeff, I'm sure what Pat suggests will work with the LS you're installing in the Spitfire. Should be a hoot when finished!</div>

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

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?<br>
