Excellent video. I want one.

@wchabotte close, it's a class 2 fulcrum. An example of a class one fulcrum is a seesaw, the fulcrum is between the force and the load. A class three is when the force is between the fulcrum and the load, such as tweezers. This invention is a class 2, the load is between the force and the fulcrum like a wheelbarrow.

@unapro3 Class 1.

I think by the time you have to set it up you would have it done already. I think the main advantage is to have a ring compressor that can be locked in place, as shown in this video. That allows a hand up inside the block holding/guiding the conrod whilst you tap on the piston head. Keeping a pulling motion on the conrod as you go will stop the piston bouncing out allowing the rings to become free.

@wchabotte ah yes,but which class of fulcrum?
-
@DALE97DSM i believe it would, 4 cylinders have to have head bolts right? Thanks for your interest Bob

You better get a patent before someone else takes it......
-
Silly, question would this work on 4cyl engines also. This would be a cool tool to have. I'm putting this on my X-mas list.

genius!!



ok i have watched the video and have come to a conclusion. PROPS TO YOU OLD MAN! you need to go market that thing instead of selling it on youtube. mechanics around the world would even be able to use that in their shops, as well as the obvious do it yourselfer such as myself! go patten that thing etc is my vote. asap.
