I had them put the piston & rings in the cylinder for me. But they also did the boring there as well.

I hate to say this but....ebay?

I can't get my hose clamps to honk, but they do squeak a little when they get kinda semi-tight...

I can do it with my hands.

All you need is an extra set to hold the cyl.
