  2. I cant really help in any way other than to say you'd be better of buying the oil ring and having a mate help compress it instead of spending on a tool you may never use again. The oil rings are cast i think, which is why once they've been used a while they do tend to snap into tiny little pieces so easily. I've done it too you see.
