Absolutely! I ain’t half the mechanic I used to be without my phone!
They’re under $100 for one like mine.
I wouldn’t want my compressor outside here in Michigan. I realize there are some units that are designed to be outside but I’m sure I can’t afford them.
Maybe I should rephrase that. What I mean is put it outside of the main building in a small, attached shed. The purpose being to get away from the noise. No special unit necessary.
Mr. “I can’t afford a pricey compressor!”My ‘63 Quincy 5 hp 2 stage has a silencer on it and I can have a normal conversation with you while standing next to it and I’m pretty sure the silencer cost far less than the outbuilding and extra plumbing.
My buddy put his tank in the basement, so he wouldn't hear it in this attached garage. Obviously single, I've stepped inside while the compressor is running it is pretty loud in the house and the kitchen floor vibrates, but you can't hear it in the garage.

Most new and reasonably affordable compressors are pretty loud. Mine is a 5 hp CH 80 upright. It was around $500 I think. The simple shed and small concrete pad I put it in probably cost me $200 in all. Well worth it in my book.My buddy put his tank in the basement, so he wouldn't hear it in this attached garage.

Drain plug.
That’s what I’m talking about. Engines that are already out. I’ve never drained the oil in a car that wasn’t mine to perform this inspection. But, if the seller is motivated enough and the money is in hand, you could say “if you let me do this and, it is in fact a 4 bolt main, I’ll hand you the cash when I crawl back out from under it”
