:update: Well the bits I ordered yesterday morning arrived today..... :) Great service from Clarke and Royal Mail.... :headbang: Tomorrow I need to putvthexrunfs on the new piston, bolt the conrod into its big end and complete the re-assembly of the remaining parts of the pump....then we will see if it was money well spent... :scratch: |
| John Rudd:
:worthless: Ok, So some fotos..... Here's the gudgeon pin.......the first image shows the worn sections where it rides in the piston bosses, the second image, the pin is rotated 180 degrees..... |
| John Rudd:
:worthless: Here's the piston, the marks at the top above the first ring groove... |
| John Rudd:
:update: Finally, The conrod, it may not lok obvious but the l.e.e is worn oval The second image shows the gap above the pin.... |
| John Rudd:
And finally, After re-assembly, it runs nice and quiet as it should.....no knocking noises just the sound of the reservoir filling.....but..... Its losing air from the pressure switch when it reaches its setpoint...Argghhhhhh.... A quick diagnosis, its the nrv.....Stripped and cleaned, its now back together.... So total cost is around £100 for parts....should get me £250 on ebay.. Anyone want a good working compressor? :lol: :lol: Right chill time as I'm off on me hols soon..... |
