Hey guys

I had ordered a replacement for the cracked reed in my air compressor. Went back this past saturday and the shop guy says "Thats a non-replaceable part. You'll have to order a whole new compressor and motor assembly." Just as my heart sank into my shoes, he reaches under the desk and pulls out a replacement cylinder head and gives it to me. for free.

So I swap heads on my compressor, and now it buzzes right up to 125 psi and shuts off fine.

So I'm thinking this is a good omen for the weekend. Sunday morning I break out the 235 block and wash it down with hot water and soap. I wipe it out and fog with WD-40. Do the same to the crank. I put on my gloves and break out the main bearing shells.

Wrong main bearings. F#*# a duck.

So now I'm waiting on the correct mains for a '60 235.

the saga continues.
