Thank you very much! I was a little torn by the fact that the compressor has no model stamps, so finding parts is almost impossible, so I thought I'd try and make my own. Was really primitive since I don't have a lathe yet, but it turned out great.
@@AJRestoration For items that do not need the precision down to thousandths of a millimeter, what you did works well. I have often fabricated small parts that need rounded heads like that. Chuck into drill press, and I use a dremel tool with a grind stone at 90 degrees to the drill stem on the drill press. They usually come out almost perfect rounded.
Good restoration, it looks as good as new and should give years of service. Compressors heat up, especially the head and HP outlet, so its better to paint the whole unit in black. Also there should be washers under the nuts that hold the block to bottom.
Hello! I have the same head on my compressor, recently I disassembled just the head of the pistons to clean the “breathing” area. The intermediate metal plate where the slats are placed, has some corrosions points and after remount it needs a lot longer to pump than before, do you think I have to fill those corrosions points with bond to restore the planarity? Thank you great video!!
Awesome video! Love that restoration! Nice balance of functional and aesthetic. I was really wondering what that big lump of awful stuff was - I had no idea that was the old filter - nice upgrade there 😂 Really looking forward to the engine restoration and of course the end-to-end test! 😃👍
Hey my son's birthday is coming up soon. Can you blow up like 300 balloons by Friday. LOL !!!!!! Nice work on the restoration. Top class there mate !!!! Keep up the great restoration.
Brilliant restoration again 👌. Looking forward to seeing the engine being done. I don't know any thing about engines or compressors , but what do the pins do at the bottom of the con rod caps do ? Just curious. Thanks 👍
Those are the little rods that splashes the oil around so the insides can be lubricated. Without those little pins the compressor will heat up and seize. destroying the poor thing. Thank you for the comment buddy! Also, all the small engines work with the same principle.
...так и не стал востанавливать ребро головки цилиндров?-, это прлхо и рессивер ещё не поставил теперь осталось только движок отремонтировать и устанавливать всё в один блок!-, удачи и здоровья тебе, новых творческих успехов!!!
I assume you are building a compressor, so what are you going to use for a tank? If you can find one of those 45Kg or 90Kg bottles from Afrox/EasiGas/TotalGas and if you lay it on its side and fit some wheels. It should be able to hold enough pressure.
Honestly the air filter replacement gave took me off gaurd because it did not register that's what it was when I first saw it. Only thing I'd done different is file those casting marks. Otherwise beautiful work boss.
Pourquoi enlever le "flange" du roulement à billes ? Il est là pour protéger la graisse qui lubrifie la cage. Why remove the flange of the ball bearing? It's there to protect the grease that lubricates the cage.
New(ish) subscriber here... I'm enjoying keeping up with your new videos and catching up on your previous ones. I really like your attention to detail and that you repair or fabricate parts that would cause many others to throw up their hands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ! One question I have: how do you decide whether to paint or powder coat? Thanks!
Wrong color and several modifications!!! How in the world can you call that a restoration! That is a rebuild or a renovation!!! You lied in the title!!!

I look forward to seeing the engine rebuilt, & fitted to the compressor!!
I can't wait to do the little Honda!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I thank you
From South Africa
Plesier, nou kan ons braai!
Excellent job. Loved the way you fabricated the oil slinger. Will remember that.

The magic sound of a running compressor! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love it!
A damn fine paperweight ;-) . . . looking forward to the engine restore
Excellent resto!!
wow great restoration dear i love this
Thank you so much 😊
Another great one.

Thank you for the tips!
Fine job, looking forward to the engine 👍
Marvelous
i like this video, keep it up , im waiting for this
Excellent
Great job. I like the air filter solution, it’s perfect. Can’t wait to see the next part.
Came out beautiful! I’m about to do one I picked up. I’m hoping I can find new piston rings.
A Beauty !
Nice work, save those bearings for another project ..
Lovely
Excellent!!!
Glad you like it!
Great job, as usual.
Best regards and greetings from Germany !😁

Yes those points that corroded is preventing a good seal, it needs to be almost perfectly flat.
wow💗💗
Bravo ottimo lavoro
excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
Good job bro
Thank you so much 😀
Wow d
Great job 👍
Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you so much 😊 I really liked the look of the new filter, looks kinda like a racing engine.
Was hoping for a link to where to buy the parts. Also some narration would have been nice
Big Fan Bro Big Fan♥️
This is a masterpiece. Congratulation from Vietnam.😉👍🍺
Did you use new rings or hone out the cylinder didn’t see it just wondering
Why did you remove the covers on the new ball bearings? Thanks
I was wondering that too!
Baie good gedoen maat, resting n goeie restoration
Baie baie dankie Deon!
Good job i need one ok
Hey my son's birthday is coming up soon. Can you blow up like 300 balloons by Friday. LOL !!!!!! Nice work on the restoration. Top class there mate !!!! Keep up the great restoration.
Happy birthday to your Son! Hahaha I'd love to blow up 300 for him!

Perfeito muito bom !
Muito bom! Valeu meu querido!
I want to buy this compressor to fix my air tank
Looking good 👍slowly coming together.

Hi boss what is that compressor
...так и не стал востанавливать ребро головки цилиндров?-, это прлхо и рессивер ещё не поставил теперь осталось только движок отремонтировать и устанавливать всё в один блок!-, удачи и здоровья тебе, новых творческих успехов!!!

I have seen small used tanks at the metal recycling yard, I'll probably pick up one of those.
@@AJRestoration Please water test it before you put pressure on it with air...
Looks good but wrong order of tightening the cylinder head bolts. From center to outside in a spiral. And you lost two valve springs ;)
I need one where can I get one
the filter fits perfect, ... but it could not be used in the exterior.....
👍
Maybe a tin can to protect the air filter ?
Honestly the air filter replacement gave took me off gaurd because it did not register that's what it was when I first saw it. Only thing I'd done different is file those casting marks. Otherwise beautiful work boss.
