My local Snap-On truck sells ring expanders for about $7. Well worth
the price.

Thanks for all the advice so far. I just took another look at the piston
rings tonight. My engine's got one of those oil control rings (it isn't
the wavy type; it has slots cut in it) and all four rings are cast iron,
so it looks like I need to be careful. I'll look for stores that sell
ring compressors and expanders.

Best wishes,
