<VV> Another newfangled built-in 'ring compressor' ?

[Charles Lee]

I did get a 'ring compressor' (still have it, but don't use it), because I 
couldn't 'finesse' the rings out of the compressor into the barrel.

When I noticed the chamfer / bevel that was already there, I was pleasantly 
surprised at how easily the compression rings slipped in (with some help 
from that very thoughtful cutout, which was there for shaft clearance ?)

The oil rings hang up since the bevel angle is too steep and I don't want to 
damage the rings.

Thanks again
Charlie
