Just wanted to thank everyone for their input! It was a huge help to me. I ordered the Saturn wrench an will use it with the greatest of care. I will take jatonka's advice and really clean the threads well and use lots of oil. I already got them off with a box end wrench and lots of Liquid...

You are right Gimpyrobb. It is just like you decribed. There is a supply on the "single cylinder" compressor. This supply line goes from the side of the compressor to the base of the compressor. But the older single should be interchangeable with the dual setup without any modifications right?

Hey Bgekky3, I will PM you. Maybe we can get together Friday! Wanna help pull the head off too!? :wink: I am also fixing a head gasket leak and after 12 hours of unbolting and putting back together I found out that one of the studs coming out of the engine block is stripped out! No wonder...

Hey Rosco, I was sthinking the same thing. The inside of the compressor looked pretty oily though so I was thinking maybe one or both of the bearings are shot on the cam that runs the two pistons? The thing is that there is no oil supply line going to the unit. It gets its oil from the...

Thanks Airbornbandsman. I guess all I can do is give it a shot and hope for the best. I was thinking of making my own but thought I probably can't do better than the one made just for that truck......"you've got to have the right tool for the right job!" If the Saturn bought wrench snaps I...

Thanks Doghead! I just ordered one.

Gimpyrobb, Thanks for the info. Glad to hear the old style is not inferior to the new style.:-D

Bjorn, that is the style compressor that siezed up on me. The one I am replacing it with is a little bit different, (single cylinder). If you had the single type we would be in buisness! Thank you very very much for trying to help though! It is greatly appreciated.

I was out driving my Deuce the other day and noticed it making a squealing sound once in a while, but only for a second. Got home and popped the hood with the motor running and saw that the belt seemed to be on the loose side. Had a spare so I went to replace it. Long story short I started to...

I am in the middle of replacing my head gaskets and realized that you really do need that special headbolt wrench. I have seen them for sale before on online auctions but can't seem to locate one now. Anyone willing to loan one out or sell one? My other problem is that on of the studs that...

Hey Ohfiredude, Hopefully we can meet up this weekend so I can take you for your first Deuce ride! PM me so we can get together.

Thanks Kenny! That really helps me out and your knowledge is much appreciated. Now the only un-answered question is what about the whistle? Will that be totally gone with the "D" turbo? Never heard the difference myself. Anyone? Also, I have to correct myself. The new turbo came from TNJ...

Hello Bjorn, I knew someone was going to ask that! I know I know, if it's not broke don't fix it! Well when I bought my Deuce a year ago I drove it from Alabama to Ohio with the Turbo not spinning and the fuel pump not working. If I only knew then what I have learned in the mean time! In...

Hello Everyone! I am a newbie here and this will be my first post. Been lurking in the background for over a year now. This sight is great and has made my Hobie of O.D. Iron a lot more fun! So on with my question.....I recently bought a new turbo from TNJ Murray and got it in the mail...
