I've never seen that before,and am quite curious as well,but to me doesn't seem like much good can come of it,also the piston and sleeve are already wore into eachother and in theroy this just tightens the seal,if ur motor is that bad then it can't hurt to try and let us know

That is a one piece hub/shaft collar, not a sleeve re-sizer.
@$21 shipped your getting ripped off as they are only $2~3 a piece locally.

Give http://www.rayaracing.com/ a holler for a repinch done the correct way.

Yeah, somebody stole some shaft collars from work and is re-selling them lol.

Ray racing if you want it done right.

He does good work. Will let you eek out a few more gallons if the rest of the engine is in good shape. It won't have a life like a "new" set, but every one of the ones he pinched I've gotten 3 or more gallons through it since.

I bought one of those ebay sleeve pinchers and all I can say is it dont work at all waste of $20 ended up sending piston and sleeve to rcrenew.com in the end cost me bout $40 including shipping to australia
I havent started it yet as its my spare engine but it has great compression and if I g3t 2 gallons from it thats great coz all up the engine and resize cost $60 .btw it a rb tm323 and new p/s are rare these days

For that $20 give Ray Racing a shot, 2~3 more gallons out of a re~pinched worn out P/S for $20 is great deal!

mine isn't really worn yet.i was just trying to plan ahead for a quick pinch so to say.
