russin fussin piston rings

Isn't there a special scraper tool? Or do you just soak the pistons in solvent? I think I used a flat blade screwdriver. Probably not the best thing.

Break an old piston ring, it now is your scraper, or they make a tool that has various cutters on it to do the same thing.
me i've all but once or twice used an old ring.

I tried the hose clamp idea.....didn't work for me
But I did find if you buy a big enough tiewrap, you are golden.
I tried it with multiple ties,attached together but it took a single one.

1/2 an inch wide and held all rings. Upper,lower and oil\\/\\/
Just have to have big snips to cut them but any reason to buy more tools

If anybody needs the tiewraps let me know.
I have enough left over to send some out\\/

The tiewraps are what I used years ago when I had the topend off.
