Hello, having trouble locating a straight ring compressor locally, is there an "Old Times Way" or another trick to getting the rings compressed on piston?? Any ideas?? thanks

How about an aluminum can and some nylon cable ties?

Thanks, got the rings in useing a 2 1/2 inch hose clamp, its alot easier when you are dealing with a cylinder open on both sides rather then one side as this puppy is. thanks again
