My adventure is not over yet. The intake valve came in, cleaned cylinder head , assembled .. there is some compression, it feels smooth. Next step is the broken intake manifold. The PO and maybe the army had fixed this with an army green / black devcon . Not sure if that is existing but it came...

Although the cylinder has some bad pitting I still feel it would be fun to see if it could run.. so I ordered a new intake valve from saturn for 7.50 + shipping. My eye notices the poor exhaust damper so I thought to practise my welding . It is not a work of art but is was fun playing. Johan

I was curious about the inside so decided to pull the rear end cap of. Nice big tapered roller bearing. Drained the remaining oil, green snot out of it and re- assembled. Looks like the valves need a special wrench to unscrew. I cleaned as good as I could and thought to let it run and pump some...

Did some more teardown.. beheaded the compressor.. Cleaned up pretty good but there seems to be a loose ring inside low end. Tomorrow o will get the cylinder of and see what is wrong in there. Johan

Thanks NDT,. Maybe a bit to much for me for this project. Some will show up at FB. Found one for 35 but it is not close and it looks that it has been outside in the weather as well . I opened some more up of what I have here. One rusted out intake valve, exhaust is good, Val seats are...

Thanks NDT, guyfang sure did,. I guess I am the first reader on this site.. Connie has for sure a couple of things going for her.. probably have to put her on the fridge, not sure how the wife is going to take that. Anyhow, curiosity got the most of me so I decided to tear into it a bit ...

Is there still any parts supply. Like head gasket and rings. If I want to be safe I have to take the head off and see how bad it is inside.. Johan

Great thank you, this is s cute piece of equipment, I hope I can get it running. Johan

Thanks guyfang, I looked there and did not see but as often the case in the hardware store that when I can not find the thing I am looking for and ask advise they take me back to the same spot and say there it is , all the time right in front of me, dylexic with things I guess. Will look again...

Thank you, I will check the compressor part first . Is there a manual about the 1 ao 8 engine. Google showed only a couple of posts with little mention of details. I did like the sticker mentioning $1000.. I assume in 1968.. would this be the decommiaioning sticker or the new build a quiring...

Evening folks, At my local scrapyard I picked up this pretty complete air compressor. Clean oil in compressor and gasoline motor but nevertheless locked up... Aluminum frame, fuel and airtank mounted below the frame . Rubber in decent shape. May I have searched at the wrong places but I cannot...
