Good video. Heat is what kills those head gaskets. The flywheel fan doesn't do a very good job cooling the heads. You might install a cheap fan over the heads that is wired to the pressure switch so it kicks on/off with the compressor. I have a Quincy QT-54 and I installed a $75 magnetic motor starter. Instead of 220v going thru the pressure switch, now only 110v goes thru it. This helps the pressure switch last a lot longer. I am going to build an aftercooler for it soon to reduce/eliminate the water that condenses in the tank and lines.
Why was the head getting hot? I'll guess, The exhaust gas was going back into the intake and then back to exhaust over and over and getting hotter each time. ??? Thank you for the video, I learned something.
With the broken gasket your correct, the hotter pressurized air from the piston thats supposed to be going to the tank was leaking back into the intake side of the head instead of going where it was supposed to go. That cycle over and over again, causes it to heat up significantly more than the friction alone when compared to the other cylinders that are operating normally. Thanks for watching!
My compressor starts working and builds pressure up to 150psi but sometimes during work it will not start and won't keep tank charged. Sometimes it turns on only for a few seconds then goes quiet. Sometimes I hears something that it wants to start like air going somewhere through the pipe for about 2 second and then quiets and stays like that. Fails to keep up pressure in tank when I use it. Pressure goes low as 50psi but compressor doesn't start. Then I had to open drain valve to release remaining air pressure in the tank. Disconnect it from AC power for few minutes and it starts working again build up to 150psi again. I don't hear any air leaks. What could be wrong?
Could be a leak from the compressor to the tank or unloader valve. Spray soapy water on every connecting to search for leaks. That's way too long to be running on such a small sized tank. Compressor may be shot if theres no leaks found.
i need to replace the start and run capacitor but the oem parts are expensive. i see these capacitors on amazon for cheap you wouldnt happen to have replaced these or know of a equivalent on to oem that can be used

great video. had the same issue and now its fixed because of your info 👍🏻
Love it! Glad I could help!!!
Good video and info
Hope it helps!

More than likely its the start/run capacitor if its having a hard time restarting after its build pressure the first time.
@@hcr-motorworks Thank you for info
I have a 33 gal husky oilless and it builds pressure but takes 15 min to get to 75 out of 150 lbs. Any ideas on what's causing that?

Pull the existing one off and look at the Volts and the MFD rating. As long as your matching up those numbers you'll be fine
