    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    Yeah I would guess so, but nothing is ever perfect. Look at quincy and the 325 model pump they have record of changes up past 104 which mine is, it's a awesome pump but they made it better as the years went. I only spent 75 for the entire thing so I wouldn't be mad if it didn't work out...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    Took out all the valves which the 2 hp side valves were tough to get out but I got them all cleaned up. There's two valve hold down a with holes drilled in them I took a chance and opened them up slightly which made it a tad bit louder and fills the tank maybe 10 seconds faster

    Decent Metric Tap & Die Set?

    I bought a set of used Vermont american SAE tap and dies off ebay, it's a older set that i believe is carbon but they do work well I had a larger tap and a big tap wrench and was really turning it and it cut and never snapped.

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I wonder what would happen if I enlarge the hole's in the valve to flow more air. I always think compressors generate all there heat directly from valve design some more then others as it's limiting flow and creating heat. Anyone ever try? Always thought about taking out a Dremel and cleaning...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I'll take some pictures but I decided to try and take the valves out thought I had read you need a special tool but with lime you dont. Just a pipe wrench and large cheater bar to get them loose. The valves were so gummed up with **** on the LP side from the air filter not filtering anything...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I did notice this westinghouse pump creates alot of water with it being cold out in upstate NY I've never had a drop of condensation in my water traps with the quincy and I think it's better intercooler design and more cast iron to absorb the head, I notice the 3yc model used a much larger and...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    Anyone know of any good compound to seal the joints on the piping. I bought some stuff that was a paste it said good to 2600psi and every damn joint leaked. So I used Teflon tape but still have a leak at the union fitting and maybe 1 more else where

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    And I am guessing close to 14cfm as the quincy was making 18 with a pump speed of 900

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    100 seems like a fair price as I only paid 75 for the pump and motor and gauges. I think the max rpm on this pump is 700 as I think it's a 300 series leroi from looking at there pump specs and sizes on the actual pump. Think any faster the piston speed would be to fast.

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I don't think the 2hp would work spinning the pump at close to max speed like I am. I'm right at 700rpms with my larger sheave from my quincy.

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I would use the induction motor if I didn't have the 5hp. My orginal plan was to scrap the motor to pay for the pump. My little garage just doesnt have the rooms for it. Maybe someone on Craigslist will jump on it for 100 bucks does that seem like a fair price

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I believe the issues with the HP valve on my 325 is cause of the older style top valve hold down. It orginally used a set screw the newer style I had got used a much larger bolt and jam nut. I think over time the set screw would back out causing thr valve to jump. The 325 only needs a bumper for...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    I haven't had good luck with my 325, always have valve issues. And this pump will have no cost me anything when I scrap the motor. I did finish plumbing it and it runs really well. Didn't have a chance to see where it falls filling the tank compared to the 325. I really don't need a 325 for...

    Need info on Westinghouse 2yc compressor I just purchased

    Got the pump mounted on the tank which was a pain as I had to pull the pump on and off thr tank about 3x to get the hole's drilled and tapped. I wasn't sure how we were going to get the quincy 325 off as it's a massive pump at 275lbs but I took some 1" and 3/4 steel pipe and put it in the inlet...
