SHould i just have my compressor rebuilt,or should i just get a new seal. ALso Are these seals still available even? YORK STYLE Compressor On another note I threw some sound clips of my exhaust on youtube for reference purposes. If you do a search for Jeep 401 flowmaster mine is the first that shows up. If you then click on my user name rand0muser you can see my other two videos.. The other is my old MAGNaFLOW muffler which i never liked. thanks Rob Zabawa _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together^Wat home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 18:36:32 -0700 From: Jim Blair Subject: fsj: Re: What size bearing puller? Too bad you didn't count how many points. External Torx are 6 point (AKA E-drive which is easy to remember for the '70s FSJ crowd)12 point head is just a regular 12 point socket OR possibly a triple square (heard of them, but haven't seen them in use yet) From: "Stephen Rigley" Subject: Re: xj: What size bearing puller? splines on the outside of the bolt head (external?) _________________________________________________________________ See how Windows Mobile brings your life together^Wat home, work, or on the go. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093182mrt/direct/01/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 18:37:54 -0700 From: Jim Blair Subject: RE: fsj: York Compressor seals They are available but I keep forgetting to check through work for them.

YES... this would be BETTER than a 300GD or an XJ... two problems... 1) don't have 12K Euros, or even 12K USD. ;) 2) not going to Europe after all... :( However, when the prices get under 10K USD over there, what's that, about 8K E? I might look into bringing one over... The WJ is a superb Jeep... the only slight downside is the A pillar visibility issue, which one quickly adapts to. Heading up to Jasper/BC Glacier in a few days... thinking about taking the WJ, but with BioDiesel in cans I can make a significant part of the trip without hitting refueling stations and save money for important things like hotel and food. ;) Pictures to follow. BTW, Omega is last reported on a truck heading east on I-90 in Ritzville, WA... east of Moses Lake, west of Spokane... on it's way to Maryland to the new owners. :) I got the 4" exhaust setup in my '94 Blazer and it's doing nicely... going to put a pair of leather WJ seats in tonight for the trip... also hooking up some IPF foglights... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold SAVE fuel: use synthetics: http://www.AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 SAVE power: use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf http://wagoneers.com http://wagoneers.com/johns-vehicles.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, 5 Sep 2008, Andreas Kreft wrote: # Am Middeweken 03 September 2008, hest Du schrieven: # # Just returned from vacation and read the news: # # > Hmm..

Banff and Glacier and the Rockies are amazing... went through there in '84... putting the leather WJ seats in the blazer, upgrading the rear speakers and then running up to get some bioDiesel for the trip... would prefer to take the 300D, but those seats would kill our backs... also the reason I'm putting the wj seats in, the blazer seats are the best gm seats I've ever had, but my lumbar still isn't happy with them... wouldn't mind taking the WJ, but it doesn't run on biodiesel... :( plan to take off Sunday morning... picked a good time, looks like the weather will be nice for a few days, and the union folks at work are planning on taking some time off too. btw, Omega is heading east... tracking reports he's in MT heading to SLC, ultimate location is MD. when we get back I'll get back to work on the carport and drag superdawg home... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold SAVE fuel: use synthetics: http://www.AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 SAVE power: use LINUX: http://johnmeister.com/tmcp.pdf http://wagoneers.com http://wagoneers.com/johns-vehicles.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #3165 **************************
