Toolman thankyou for the positive reply.I could tell you about the amount of people I know including myself that have tried all but the pinching methods that have engines up and still running after quite a few liters of fuel,but this being a online forum it would be a moot point as it would be hard to prove.

Proanti...If it looks like a duck and it quakes then it must be a duck and clearly your snubbing my post.The piston is proven to be the part that wears the most and as such in my mind and many others it would be the part that needs attention.As toolman said ''Where does the extra material go?''Now if you read the first paragraph of my post you would relise that it leans more to the people who have the very difficult choice to between feeding their kids or buying a new engine.Guys who have a love for this hobby but find it hard to justify the cost.The recession left a huge dent and it seems like another is on the way.As for the tool you mention,it retails for more than two or three engines.As for getting the sleeve pinched,Id much rather pay $32 for a tool that I can use as many times I want on almost any engine I want than pay the $25 it would cost to have the sleeve pinched once.Now Im not dissing the guys how offer the service,but it remains a sevice alot of guys out there will think twice about.
My post was meant to be helpful,and you clearly sound very bias or not willing to try something different.
