       What you need here is a "real" piston ring compressor.  One that can
be taken off after the cylinder has been put on the piston.  Princess Auto
has such a tool and this is the best tool for this job.  See Princess Auto
catalogue, page 226, item #s 2915205, 2-1/8"~5", $13.99 CND and 2915213,
3-1/8"~7", $14.99 CND.  If you do not know Princess Auto see their website @
www.princessauto.com.  They have a Canadian and American version.  Order the
catalogue and you will see the ring compressor and lots of other cool stuff.
