Suggestion

There are various ones on eBay but seem to be sized in inches so wouldn't mind knowing myself the proper size to get , I used a banded type on my rebuild but it was a bit of a struggle it sometimes didn't seem quite tight enough like I needed that last little bit between the notches on the tightening ratchet , I think the pliers type or the tapered one would be best , I managed but had to be careful, if you get resistance using the banded type stop !!!!

If you watch the Porsche vidoe of assembling an M96 at the factory ,they use jugs, not compressors.

Suggestion

I used a piece of PVC pipe (4"??) with a slit cut in it so that it would compress with a simple hose clamp (sorta similar to fpb111's) .

Suggestion

You have to make sure the bottom of the band remains flush with the block so the rings don't sneak into the gap and spread instead of going in the bores , also be careful the edge of the band which touches the block doesn't scratch the surface use some tape, to be honest I wouldn't use again get tapered one!!
