What is plastiguage?
A ring file is a pretty basic thing right? Nothing crazy expensive?
Suggestions on piston ring compressors?
I would buy a new oil pump. Especially since you spun a bearing. There could be metal in there.
Plastiguage is a little green string that you put between the rod end cap and the crank. It will give you the clearance you have. Then you compare to specs in your helms or elsewhere.
And I recommend a moroso ring compressor they are one size so you buy what size piston your using and it's easy to use vs clamping yours into an old fashioned ring compressor. This one acts like a wedge almost. It compresses the rings the further you press it into the compressor. I'll get a link momentarily
Ring file should be cheap as well.
