Does anyone know where I can buyu a piston ring end gapping tool? One of the litle grinding wheels with a platen and a handle to turn it with.

THanks.

I dont have a ring grinder, but speedway has one for $40.

You could probably do it using a fine flat file if you are careful and keep the ring level. I have seen an article on the net where a dremel is mounted under a miniature table so that wheel is protruding above table so that ring stays level and square with wheel while grinding.
