a few guys at my track use a pipe cutter to circle around the oil rings on the piston. this gives increasedpinch when the engine is a litle tired.

all you need to do is pass the pipe cutter round cutting disk around the rings very lightly to increase compression. Suitable to do on an old engine that is a little tired, and needs some extra oomph.

you can get a pipe cutter from any hardware store;
