Description

A great tool that totally eliminates piston ring breakage associated with the original piston ring compressing tools.

Simple and easy to use – place the piston into the tapered side of the tool and push into the bore.

We stock the four most common bore sizes for 1275-based A-Series engines and offer a reduced price on a complete set (see options in the dropdown menu above).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which engines are these sleeve tools designed for?

Any 1275-based A-Series engine, including the later A+ and SPi/MPi Mini blocks. They will also suit 970 and 1071 Cooper S blocks, which shared the same bore size.

Why do you not keep a standard 1275 size?

We sell comparatively few standard 1275 size pistons, as most rebuild projects tend to require a re-bore to +20 or more, and unfortunately it's not viable to make a very small batch of tools.

What makes these better than a regular tool?

There's much less chance of breaking a piston ring when using this tool, as it's sized perfectly to suit the particular bore, with a taper at the top for easy assembly. Obviously you will still need to carefully align the tool to the bore, but you'll find this much better than the traditional one-size-fits-all tools.
