Finally finished my air conditioner compressor it took me a fair while only because i got carried away but what a great way to learn how these units work as i had no idea about A/C prior to building this system i've built everything from the under dash box to the compressor.(warning)Evil bay is shocking once you start, i couldn't stop buying genuine nos parts the only remaining original components are the block, head caps , front crank retainer & bolts every thing else is pretty much NOS. The list is new crank ,new thrust washer,new oil pressure ball & spring ,new head gaskets & seals,new pistons, new reed plates, new oil pump, new sump ,new R134a o ring seals, new suction filter, new crank seals, new adjustable PRV valve, new tag ,new bearings, new clutch field coil The unit was pulled down cleaned then coated in a high temp clear i know it's not factory but i liked it that way sort of shows it off better than a black block of steel.The unit was put together using Ester 100 oil so i can go either way with the gas R12 or the newer R134a. The unit should blow cold air for another 50 years
