Times I've taken compressors apart on customers drives and rebuilt them with just a new gasket set and a couple of ounces of oil and it's good to go. And the customers don't realise how clever you are saving them a ton of money. Now with the new types of compressor there's no chance of a rebuild.
Now I can see why they want 150 for a rebuilt one and 275-350 for a new one. Theres alot of precision machined parts there, plus valves, bearings and bearing surfaces. I can also see why when I used a NEW compressor, it worked so much better than a Rebuilt one. I have found that using the New ones are WORTH the additional 75 to 100 bucks!...its the diference between having 'so-so' cool air and Ice Cold Air! Longer warranty too.
automotivezone.in some cannot be repair, or I should say it may not be cost effective. This compressor was done. Most of them if in still good condition, the seals, bearings, reed valves etc can be replaced as long as there is no scoring. If I had a rotary vane compressor I could do a vid on it, will keep my eyes open for one, thanks !
one of my favorite types of compressors
It was pumping when it was removed, but leaking bad. Thanks, much appreciated !
Thanks for the autopsy!! I've never had one of those apart!!
The thing you call a wobble plate is actually called a swash plate and you can buy gasket kits for these compressors and rebuild them for like $25
no gas or bad solenoids

They dont make them like they used to !
I love old school methods for disassembly. No bull!
Thanks !! Sometimes you gotta make due with what you got lol
Looks like it died a nasty death! Couldn't have been far from seizing as there as no oil in it. Great vid!
I knew it was called something... lol wish I had a few more of them

yep, ive found out the re mans just dont make it...... heck some dont even make it a day if that
Cool vid nick, not even close as to how I thought they operated
Good autopsy. Just clean it up and put it back in service.
That actually looks pretty good compared to the few I just took apart. lol
+consaka1 I have yet to find one that has truly shredded itself.....
More350Power I have one that has completely shredded itself. It is not pretty. all the reed style valves are shredded and stuck into everything.
I wouldnt say never.... when you take em apart and see what and why they failed you learn how to fix them.... lol This compressor was toast lol !
That thing is drier than a popcorn fart. Had to rattle like hell.
LOL !!! Never heard that one before..... Yea, it rattled and did not pump. Most of the oil leaked out onto the engine.
So you got "little balls" LMAO!!
And their polished. lol
