Yes, it will compress the rings to fit around the piston and then tap the crown and drive it in. Put some oil in the cylinder though.

I was being a smart@$$. If you have to ask that question, you probably shouldn't be trying to build an engine.

Are ya trying to build a new engine for your rig?

Neither have I.

Bet you won't find it called that in any tool catalog. They always call them "piston ring compressors".
