Piston Ring Clamps

<< < (3/3)

Nice one Drew!

Spitfire:
Watch out for plastic piston ring clamps, I used some made from a  washing up liquid container on my A65 on the night before we were due to go to the IOM, and they jammed, I had to go on the back of my mates bike, took some serious work to unjam them. On the 750 I usually place a spanner under two (lower) pistons and feed the barrels over the rings using a small screwdriver and finger nails, they go on dead easy.

Never on any pre 80s Honda's had to use clamps even though the workshop had them like all finger nails and maybe from time to time a real small screwdriver.I have seen you tube vids showing how to put them on the fours and some do the outside first followed by inside I have all ways started on inside first piece of piss
