ARP 87.5mm Tapered Ring Compressor

The ARP 87.5mm Tapered Ring Compressor simplifies piston ring installation for engines with 87.5mm bores found in performance Honda K20/K24 builds Nissan SR20DET and Toyota 2JZ stroked applications. Crafted from high-strength phenolic resin this tool compresses rings evenly as the piston slides into the cylinder avoiding damage and flare. Engine builders rely on it for clean precise assembly in street and race motors.

Key Features

  • Tapered Design: Guides piston smoothly into bore while gradually compressing rings to exact size for flawless seating
  • Precise 87.5mm Sizing: Factory-marked bore diameter ensures perfect match for 87.5mm (3.437 inch) pistons in custom and stroker kits
  • Phenolic Resin Construction: High-impact material withstands repeated use without cracking or deforming under pressure
  • Ring Protection: Eliminates scuffing flare or breakage common with inferior compressors during critical install step
  • ARP Engineering: Built to pro standards for consistent results in high-horsepower engine projects

Product Notes

  • Lubricate rings lightly before use for optimal compression and slide
  • Inspect tool before each job clean after use to extend service life
  • Lightweight design ships compact with minimal packaging waste

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Position compressor over cylinder bore slide piston in steadily using taper to compress rings
  • Compatible with standard top side and oil ring packs on forged pistons

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...
