ARP 86.0mm Ring Compressor for Honda K20 Nissan SR20DET

This ARP 86.0mm Ring Compressor is a precision tool for installing pistons in 86mm bore engines found in Honda K20-equipped Civics, RSX, Type R and Nissan SR20DET 240SX. It applies even pressure to compress rings smoothly during cylinder insertion, preventing damage and ensuring leak-free seals for high-performance rebuilds. Built tough for multiple uses by engine builders.

Key Features

  • Exact 86.0mm Sizing: Matches Honda K20 and Nissan SR20DET bores for secure ring compression without slippage or distortion
  • Durable Construction: High-strength materials resist cracking and wear through repeated high-heat engine builds
  • Tapered Design: Gradually compresses rings as piston enters bore, reducing risk of ring breakage or misalignment
  • Application-Specific Engineering: Developed by ARP for popular performance engines, includes matched components for quick setup
  • Easy Identification: Clear size markings speed up tool selection in busy shops or garages

Product Notes

  • Inspect cylinder bores for cleanliness and roundness before use
  • Store in dry conditions to maintain shape and performance
  • Ships in compact box, weight 0.80 lbs with protective padding

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Lubricate rings and bore lightly before compressing and inserting piston
  • Compatible with stock and aftermarket pistons in listed 86mm applications

ARP

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

ARP Head Studs

ARP Head Studs

ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
