Any recommendations for a good piston ring compression tool that I can use on my 2.0 and 1.8 liter Type IV motors? I've had a couple of them and neither has worked very well on other applications, and the one I now have is giving me problems getting the pistons back into the cylinders with the new rings in place on the 2.0 liter motor.

They all work pretty much the same. The trick is using enough oil/lube, and the speed with which you push the piston in. I’m no engine expert, but I’ve had good luck using the handle end of a mallet to push the piston down till the skirt is in the cylinder and the bottom ring is just above the lip, then give the top of the mallet a good rap with a BFH. You have to have enough speed for the ring to “jump” in.
