My friend said that his old 5hp air copressor was dieing & he was going to buy a new compressor from NT. It would start making a noise & gets hot.
He said that I can have his old deing compressor.
I said hell yea! Ill take it!
Got it home, thinking on buying a replacement copmressor from HF.
Thought to first take the head off to look for the reason for the noise & heat.
Found the top of the pistons & cylinders in perfect shape!
Found one read valve back plate had broken at the securing rivet. But no parts visable. Took the discharge line & check valve out. Found the missing pieces lodged inthe check valve.
So, noise was the discharge reed valve bouncing in the head.
& the Heat was from the check valve not seating & alowing the air to flow back & forth causing the air to heat.
Cleaned & lapped the check valve, made a new read valve back plate & put it back together. RUNS PERFECT!!!!
5hp 60 gal, for Free!

YEP, I ****!!!!

Dan, from what I have read here on GJ, you can not do a self proclaimed "you ****". You'll need to edit your thread title.

But in the meantime, I'd be happy to advise: Nice score, you ****!

Dangerous Dan 55 you cannot **** yourself! Only another member can bestow a suckage upon you Like MP&C, but his cannot count because of your pre self - proclaimation. Man I type slow!

You have been tried and convicted of blasphemy.

SELF - SUCKAGE is NOT allowed, nor will it be tolerated !!

That compressor will be confiscated and handed over to next GJ poster who asks for advice on why an oil-less compressor is noisy !!! :bounce:

Self-suckage? Whilst an admirable feat of spinal flexibility and/or double-jointedness, it simply cannot be allowed. Unless you're single of course, in which case crack on mate!

^^^ Very well put!

To OP. Good score, but here on GJ, "Thou shall never **** thyself"...... We have seen many an excited self-sucker go down in flames due to this oversight. Haha!

What is going to happen when you friend finds out that you have it up and working? Are you going to tell him everything?
