The M30136 Ring Compressor is a professional-grade piston ring installation tool engineered specifically for Detroit Diesel 92 Series engines. Designed as a direct functional alternative to OEM tool J-24227-B, this compressor provides uniform, controlled ring compression to ensure smooth, damage-free piston installation during rebuilds, in-frame repairs, or complete overhauls.
Detroit 92 Series engines rely on precise piston and ring installation to maintain correct oil control, compression sealing, and liner integrity. Improvised methods or incorrect compressors can lead to broken rings, scored liners, or improper ring seating—issues that result in costly rework and premature engine failure. The M30136 addresses these risks with a properly sized, precision-machined taper that guides the piston cleanly into the liner while maintaining correct ring alignment.
Built for durability in demanding shop environments, the M30136 is ideal for engine rebuilders, fleet maintenance facilities, marine and industrial service shops, and vocational diesel technicians working with classic Detroit 92 Series powerplants.
