Default Help $$$

Guys i have a 90 civic dx 4spd manual hatch stock. I need someone who can put the piston back into the block. The only thing stopping me i have everything else, gaskets and all i have a tool to use to put the piston back into the block but somehow the rings pop up at right when it almost enters. I will pay for this i can put the pan and everything else, if you have the tool and know how to please hit me up. My internet messing up but i will keep on checking here. Oh the car is at falls church virginia on rt50 right before you get to rt7 if you were going east on rt50
Thanks guys,
I understand if there is no one but i just thought i give it a shot....it is stock d15b2

Yes definately correct and the openings are random not same spot, used oil to make it smooth. The compressor though, is not circle completely, there is sharp or somewhat angle that i think when it is about to go in pops and leaves empty space for the ring to escape.

well there is your problem...get a 10lb sledge hammer and beat the piston in....it will go

but seriously,if you get the first two in,just look and see whats happening and fix it....i always use the wooden handle of the hammer to tap the piston down once i have the ring compressor seated flat on the block...if you keep it flat against the block there is no way the ring can pop out ...

Since you're looking to pay someone, I'm moving this thread to where it should actually be.
