38 Twelve. how to compress rings to install ?

Posted by Peter Packard On 2017/12/23 18:55:24

G'day all, Hope that everyone is enjoying the Festive Season. I have removed sump and No 1R piston and rod to replace worn gudgeon bush, caused by lack of oil from blocked oil supply. Have replaced bush and am wanting to re-install piston. Have rod connected but have found that a standard ring compressor does not fit square to the block, due to unique shape of the Packard block and piston. Would much appreciate advice on installation. Shop manual mentions nothing about it. Is one supposed to compress rings individually at each land?
Please advise. Peter Toet.
