  • Bought some piston tools yesterday
  • The only piston tools I've ever owned was a cylinder hone. When it came to assembling an engine I always borrowed the tools. I have an engine to assemble here so I looked on CL and found these.
    I can't find any name on them anywhere but he said they were at least 30 years old so maybe USA made.
    I paid $40 for the bunch and am happy with that.

  • Nice find.
    Like you I always borrowed tools from a friend, And he borrowed tools from me.

  • Upper left is a cylinder hone but I suspect brake cylinder.
    Lower right is a piston ring groove cleaner.

    Other two look like ring compressors but I've never seen any that looked exactly like those.

  • Lower left one looks like a ring expander used for installing rings on the piston.

  • You are quite likely correct! Don't believe I ever owned a ring installer. Any thing I ever owned along that line should be in the garage as I never get rid of a tool!
