Re: My 52 GMC Build

On a air compressor topic. I mounted a York style AC compressor on my Jeep to use for OBA. I took the top end apart to inspect and clean and took some pic's. Thought someone might want to see.

The first pic shows the 2 pistons they are about 1.75" in Dia. There are 3 different stroke lengths avalable I have the long stroke about 2"
This is the plate above the pistons that holds the reed valves. It would have worked the way it was (dirty) The ring of circles is the inlet and the circular slot is compression.
The large wagon wheel is the intake reed valve and the smaller wagon wheel is the compression. The other one by the nut is a keeper.
Everything is all cleaned up ready to go back together the head has a steel filter sock on the intake.
I drained the oil and put compressor oil back in.
