Broke new piston ring...help.

Thanks everyone. This will only be my 4th rebuild,my first one was for my senior project in high school 15 years ago and still on the road chugging along the other two were sold off. But one question, how do you install without a ring compressor? I have one but its a cheapo band one.
Buy one like this, in the bore size of your engine.
It was the best thing I ever bought, compared to the cheap finger cutting band ones.
