oil expander rings Laverda

I had them loaned to me. Having dicked around with metal strips and hose clamps in the past, I enjoyed the easy work.  2 more engines on the horizon for me, one triple, let me appreciate the use of the tools.

Been using the Hazets for over 20 years now, never regretted the investment, especially because they are so easy to adjust, and open.
 
Used my finger nails a lot, never broke a ring, but it is a pain in the backside.

Now use pieces of steel sheet, cut out of commercial rings compressors, and jubilee clips.

By the way, how did you do the home made rings compressor? What is the material that compresses?

I bought a set of 15 buck car ring compressors and cut the steel to size, they worked ok but Id love a pair of those Hazet beauties
 
I have broken rings in the dark distant past going back more than 40 years, and also one recently with the current favourite pistons which are Omega and have top rings of (I think) only .75mm thickness, so Fuck it, I am buying a pair, what's good enough for Marnix is good enough for me! I would loan my new Hasets to you Paul, but very few others, maybe only another four, (I had a think) they will know who they are.
