ok guys after a bit of help
went to paint my project today and my compressor wont build up pressure painted another one of my restorations with it the other day and all worked fine so i tested the engine for compresion and there is nothing so i took the head of it and oil well cover to expose the con rod and all is fine there are no metal pieces in there and there is no movement on the pistons is it possible for the rings to crack up and let enough air out of them to tottaly allow no air to pass to the cylinder it dosnt make sense really as even if half the rings were there it would put air in
parts recently replaced on my compressor are
non return valve
new 8mm cut of valve pipe
new oil water trap everything that looked old ive replace so i cant see the problem
im tinkering with the idea of putting a new engine on it however i just cant find a website selling what i need im not after a full working engine as my comp works with a motor and belt im just after the section that throws air down the connection pipe its like a motorbile engine with a pulley on theside any ideas would be great cheers or if anyone knows what my problem could be
thanks all
