    Very helpful video. Had the same issue with my Ryobi Ac 2050 air compressor.
    Also experienced the same problem when reassembling and only getting 40psi.
    After speaking to the agent, they recommended using a small amount of engine grease on the parts to hold them in place. Worked beautifully!
    Thanks again. Best wishes from South Africa.

    It helps to put two small dabs of grease or vaseline on the tips of the head side reed to keep it in place in the head before lowering it into position. I used dielectric grease that I had laying around

    This was perfect I did exact same thing and after watching it the whole way I took it back apart and everything worked!!

    "The wizard mechanic" (popular UA-cam channel) uses crazy glue to hold metal gaskets in place while putting them on. Great tip.

    This is helpful to me as I took the head apart and then my compressor only built 2 psi pressure. I already knew it had to be something with the valves but the "wiggle method" is a great idea that I haven't tried. Will give it a go. Cheers

      @@EscapePowerSports I actually tried it but it didn’t work for me. The gasket made it so that it wouldn’t go into place. But I managed by holding it down and being very thorough

    At 2:25, I suggest an alternative to the "wiggle method, but it requires separating the top plate from the top head piece--quite appropriate if gaskets are being replaced. Just apply a magnet to the topside of the plat, then set in the reed until the plate is in place, then remove the magnet before bolting the whole assembly together.

    Our company H.P. was a lemon 🍋. End of making lemonade out of it. The reed valve I made was out of stainless about .014. I almost used shim stock from a craftsman feeler gauge. The poppet valve on our's had an issue also (fixed). The 21 gallon H.P. started hard. I drained the compressor oil & used trans fluid for fluid and has run good since. Maybe used a total of 20-30 hours since. Rich from small airport in Iowa.

      Very cool. Mine has popped another set of valves since then. Have never changed the oil so am going to try this and see if it runs/starts smoother. Appreciate you taking the time to share some good info in the comments. Cheers

    A small dab of petroleum jelly (or K-Y) will hold that upper reed valve in place during assembly, and because it's so thin of a paste, it will melt away when the head heads up, providing a little extra temporary lubrication while the piston slides in and out of the cylinder. You can still go with the touch-and-wiggle method if you want, but I prefer the K-Y slide method. What! Can I say that???

      I used Vaseline to hold it.

    Is it OK to use it without the suction filter on it? Mine is missing it.

    I wonder if some assembly goo could have kept the reeds in place

      Likely so, seems like an appropriate lube for the job. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share good thoughts in the comments. Cheers
