I will never again use a band-type ring compressor after using this tapered ring compressor.

That tapered ring compressor made installing the pistons sooo easy.

Just about home on the crank. It really helped to have two people for this: one to tap the piston down and another to guide the rod to avoid nicking the crank or dropping the bearing.

Don't those CP pistons look nice nestled in their cylinders?

I was able to bend the oil squirters toward the rods enough to clear the pin boss. There was no problem clearing the piston skirts.

I settled for 0.0055". The spec for my bolts was 0.005" to 0.0065".

I crept up on torquing the rod bolts, measuring their stretch until I was within spec. I tightened and loosened the bolts three times before making a final measurement.

The windage tray and oil pickup tube installed. It was much easier to get the pickup tube mated with the oil pump without the front cover in the way..
