Hi Todd,

It can drive ya crazy sometimes. I put the bands of the compressor as close to "straddlin' the rings as I can. Then absolutely pull the fire outta that tightener.

Then, after dropping it in the hole, tap the compressor down against the block to square it up. Lean on that compressor to keep pressure against it, tap the piston, tap the compressor square again, tap the piston, tap the compressor, etc, ect. all the while keeping pressure downward on the compressor.

Also, I always soak the piston and rings in oil just before putting on the comressor.

Hope this makes sense.

Allan
