Saylor Beall 704 Air Compressor Pump

[The Shop]

HI, I'm rebuilding a 20+ year old Saylor Beall Air compressor Pump for my shop and I need some help on some parts. Now the 704 is a single stage twin cylinder pump and it looks alot like the older 705 two stage pump. Now, some parts do interchange, but sadly not the piston rings. And as luck would have it I need a set of rings and they are discontinued. So, I guess I've hit a brick wall. Now I was able to save one compresson and one oil ring off one of the pistons. So, I'm wondering if a set of engine rings if they were the same size and thickness would work in a air compresser?

Any questions, comments, and, especially answers are welcome.

I can not definitively say yes, but I would say at this point, if the pump needs rings, you don't really have much to lose by trying, right?

Any chance of finding rings from a small engine with the same bore? The ring lands will need to be the same also.

Thanks, Dale B

I'll call them up and see if they have any rings that will work.
