RV2 Compressor Rebuild

[The_Eagles’_Nest]

I am trying to do more work on the 73 Plymouth Fury as it is sitting waiting on its carburetor to come back.

The air conditioning and heater need work so I am getting it going. The compressor would only turn 3/4 of the way, then it would stop and could be rotated backwards to the same spot.

Removing the compressor and pulling the oil pan, I found carnage. I am determined not to let this compressor die.

Some sand blasting, a trip through the parts washer and fresh paint and it looks great.

I will be getting the shavings cleaned out and getting it ready to make ice cold air.

The connecting rods and crank were damaged but I think the crank will clean up, and new pistons will get it running.

Gaskets are on the way.
