Product Description

This tool set is a piston ring compressor assembly for installing piston rings into engine cylinder bores during engine service and overhaul. It provides a quick-change band system that compresses piston rings uniformly so the piston can be inserted smoothly into the bore for aviation engine maintenance tasks.

0 1. Overview

The set is built around a model 7500 aviation piston ring compressor system that uses a quick-change arrangement to exchange compressor bands for different cylinder diameters. It includes Hastings Ring-O-Matic pliers and a series of dedicated bands that operate effectively in any orientation rather than being restricted to vertical or horizontal use. The pliers incorporate a positive locking action that holds the band at the selected diameter and a release mechanism that opens the band rapidly once the piston is in position. The design supports service work on aircraft engines where controlled ring compression and repeatable band actuation are required.

FAQs

01. What is the primary use of the 1670 piston ring compressor set?

The 1670 piston ring compressor set is used to compress piston rings so that pistons can be installed into aircraft engine cylinder bores during maintenance and overhaul.

02. What type of pliers are included with the 1670 set?

The 1670 set includes Hastings Ring-O-Matic pliers as part of the aviation piston ring compressor system.

03. How does the 1670 compressor set speed up piston installation work?

The 1670 compressor set uses a quick-change system that allows the operator to exchange compressor bands rapidly, which shortens the time required to prepare pistons for installation in different cylinder sizes.

04. Can the 1670 piston ring compressor be used in non-vertical positions?

The 1670 piston ring compressor set operates in multiple orientations and does not require the piston to be positioned strictly vertically or horizontally.

05. How does the locking action of the 1670 pliers help during use?

The locking action on the 1670 pliers holds the compressor band at the selected diameter during piston insertion and then releases it quickly once the piston is seated in the cylinder bore.
