FIXED!! DevilBiss single stage 5hp, 20Gal can't make full pressure !FIXED!

My compressor is no longer able to make enough PSI to trip the automatic shut off switch, that and it can't keep pressure in the tank
for beans. Is there a rebuild piston kit i can replace to this compressor to bring it back up to snuff.

It's model FRB5020VP-1 i've had it since 1999, i was able to find an exploded diagram of just the motor/compressor piston parts on Google images last week, now i can't seem to find it. I can only find a parts diagram for the whole unit (no breakdown of electric motor/piston parts).

Thanks for any info/recommendations

Anyone who owns a single stage oil free compressor check this link to see if your
model can use this rebuild kit.
My compressor was very loud (worn piston ring/dry bearing on the connecting rod) and could not get up to full pressure 125psi in order to trip the auto shut off. Now after rebuilding it's 60% quieter and gets to full pressure very quickly. I've had this compressor since the late 90's and this is the first time i've done major work on it.
This kit covers many MFG's so be sure to check the link.
