88840293 Piston ring pliers | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta 88840293, weighing 3.853 kg. Volvo Penta's own special tools catalogue designates it piston ring pliers rather than a ring compressor: pliers open a ring so it can pass over the piston and into or out of its groove, where a compressor squeezes the rings flush to enter the bore. No product list is printed against this number, so order it by tool number against the procedure, and note that the piston ring compressors in the same catalogue group, 88800318, 9990044 and 9998531, are each listed against their own engines.

⚙️ Key Features

• Designated piston ring pliers in Volvo Penta's special tools catalogue, not a ring compressor
• 3.853 kg
• No product list printed against this number
• Separate from the piston ring compressors 88800318, 9990044 and 9998531

🔌 Function

Opens a piston ring just enough to pass it over the piston crown and into or out of its groove, without over-stressing the ring.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Jaws or tips worn, so the ring is no longer held square
• Rings breaking or taking a set as they are opened
• Pivot slack, stiff or seized
• Handles or arms bent after being over-opened

🛠️ Service Notes

• Order by tool number against the procedure, as no product list is published against this one
• If the job is entering the piston into the bore rather than fitting rings to the piston, a ring compressor is the tool the procedure will call for
