Re: IML: AC compressor parts

["mike sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in the day, before R&D meant receive and duplicate overseas, Everco and 
Napa both had parts for the RV2 compressor. You could get reed plates, 
gaskets, seals, o rings, and all the other odds and ends.  The poor thing 
probably threw a rod...Im not kidding, they are built like a baby v twin 
engine.....and those are the hardest things to find as I recall.

Sometimes you can find them on ebay, I havent seen any components for some 
time.  The rods run metal on metal with the crankshaft,  but they are 
aluminum without any rod bearing per se and eventually they just go out of 
round or the rod cap comes loose, and they lock.

I wish I had some concrete sure fire links to send,  I know the parts exist 
somewhere because the rebuilders still send them out the door.  I think if 
one could find the correct parts, you could definetly do at least as good, 
if not better , job than some of the disposable stuff thats coming out the 
door these days.
