I know this is a long video. You would be surprised at how little information there is about this either on UA-cam or on the Internet. So I felt it necessary to take the time to thoroughly describe this entire set up to the best of my rudimentary ability. This info is helpful for many makes and models. But I am working on my 1990 Chevrolet C K 1500 Truck that has an R4 R-4 A/C Compressor. Many AC Delco and Delphi as well as some aftermarket R 4 compressors share this. Info on how to install an R4 style automotive AC Delco GM Chevrolet HVAC AC A/C air conditioning compressor, including the sealing seal washers and little aluminum inserts. I am no expert. This is just what i learned from a couple of weeks of googling and whatnot.

Thanks for the video. Very informative. Exactly what I was looking for for my 84 K5.
This was the exact information I needed to repair my a/c on a 1990 Chev C1500. I had installed the sealing washers without the insert about a year ago, but a leak occurred eventually. Of course the leak was at the flat face connection to the back of the compressor. This video contained the perfect solution to my problem. It's good to have my a/c back. Thanks for the help.
We are the only ones to have this info in such detail. We searched for days and found nothing prior to doing it ourself.
I'm glad I found your video it opens my eyes, too bad I already ordered the wrong seals, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge
Holy smoke batman. Only three years b4 i found this. Thanks. Now i can take apart and fix right.
See playlist link in the Description for many more videos about it.

Man you are the best was changing my compressor on 92 Sonoma and I ran into this problem. Thank you so much for the information you put out on this. Now I have cold a/c thanks again.
We have other How-To's and DIY videos on our channels. Check it out.

I was in the process of returning my compressor to an online auto parts distributor. They had me take pictures of my old compressor and the new compressor. The second person I spoke with (after the photos were viewed) had no clue but to do a return. I had been sent the emailed UPS return shipping label. I think I did 1 Google search and the AC Sealing Washers popped. I called the parts distributor back and the person (third person), knew what I needed. It's being sent free of charge.
Good video.
Thanks for this video.
You guys won't believe after I did this huge project and had this truck fantastic - a few months later - the truck died (unrelated to this A/C job) and it never ran again. I spent over a year trying to get it going again - but no. And I replaced EVERYTHING one could replace to make a vehicle run ---- nope. Sold it for about $3500 - and was glad of it. Talk about DISAPPOINTMENT!
Thankyou for all the details I've been fighting a losing battle

Appreciate those of you that take the time to do GOOD videos. I have been doing my own repairs for many years but when I bought an R4 of this design from Four Seasons I received a washer kit but no instructions. I had never used an R4 of this design. You saved me a lot of headaches trying to figure out the washer issue. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
See the Playlist link in the Comments for more about this project.
Dude , you are a saint. Idk about a scholar 🤣 , but definitely a saint and a life savor. I originally hooked mine up wrong and cost me 2 cans of 12$ Freon. I followed what you did on this video and I’m back in business! No leaks and no wasted money in Freon. Thank you 🙏 so much for making this video !!! God bless.
Thank you so much for posting this video, I had to experience the head aches of trying to work out with my mechanic on which seals to use for the A/C Compressor on my 1985 Corvette.
best gm truck compressor video ive come across.. if not the only one.
It's the only one with this much detail.
Great video! Kit is on order. I tried to cheat this situation with washers not knowing about this. After failed pressure test, found this video and made my day.
Yep, I don't think any other video online shows these details (which is why we made the video after much failed search for answers...) We have lots more about this truck on this channel and our other channel.... See playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLVsdJzatTm_V7HUf02Me0fpaj93vSpm-L.html
Thank You I did not how to read the instructions and now I do. Thank you very much!!!!
You did great. nobody talks about this important tidbit
Thank you so much for clearing this up. I really didn’t know how the inserts were installed. The video was great and very appreciated…87 R10
And the "instructions" basically tell you nothing on how to do it. Which is why we felt the need to do this video. We have more about the project in a playlist in the Comments here.
One of the most helpful videos on UA-cam
Thanks for this information was very helpful

Awesome. Thank you for clarification on the small aluminum ring.
Helped me figure out exactly what I need. Hell of a video. Thank you very much.
thank you great help video
The Thanks Button awaits you
THANK YOU I was completely dumbfounded by this! Silly me for thinking that OEM parts would just go together without special adapters and secret instructions 😂🤦
I had the added luck of not getting that seal kit and instructions with the new AC Delco compressor, and instead being sold an o-ring set (also AC Delco) that had thin metal/rubber washers for some other application.
I have more videos about this.
Thanks for this. I completely ruined a brand new compressor trying to get it to seal by tightening it too tight and stripping the threads since I didn’t have the right configuration of seals. Trying this again here soon. Appreciate it!
We have more videos about this on our channel.

Outstanding! Very, very helpful. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you I watched it a couple times, when replaced the washers the ac guy that replaced my compressor used a red and green with no spacer it should have been yellow and green with a spacer, also the green washer was chewed up. thanks,
I would go back to that alleged 'Mechanic' and raise hell.
Here's more about this project. I found very little info like this online. This is why we did the videos. Even though we are hardly "experts" at automotive A/C repair. ua-cam.com/play/PL_5XjPVEw3swRL4ED9AhsynAgZsuXDzZm.html
What happened ,did it seal? I can't see how it could.

THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks man mine kept leaking and the kit from advance doesn’t come with the metal caps I watched your video and ordered those seals from Amazon and bam back cold and no leaks
Thanks. Well explained
Thank you so much for the info. I was wondering why mine didn't want to hook up right. Man what a POS design. I got the same style flat mounting block as you on my 89 Firebird. The r4 four seasons compressor I bought from AutoZone didn't even come with the inserts or instructions,only four sealing washers. 1 yellow 1 green and 2 red. I really don't want to pull off the line to hammer in the inserts wich I would have to get them since it didn't even come with them. Think I'll just take it back and trade it in for the remanufactured one. Thanks again. Good video.
Yes this seemingly simple task is SO NOT simple. They parts manufacturers offering little to nothing as far as instructions, help, correct parts, NOTHING. So dumb....

Omg,several days, imagine that is crazy, we should not have to go through this, they used to just insert an on ring and that would be it.
I did my own Complete air conditioning replacement on my 1990 Chevy 1500. and I will never do it again. let a professional handle it. it's just too much to deal with, too many specialty tools and parts and knowledge and whatnot. you'd think it should be easier. but unfortunately it is not.
Thanks, this answered a lot of questions and issues.
There are no videos like this anywhere on UA-cam. I know - I looked when I was doing this job for the first time.

Thank you for this video.
We have many more videos about this truck on both of our channels.
Sure helped me! Thanks
And for those watching this and hoping to do this job yourself - I will never do this job again. It is just too much to deal with. Let a professional handle it. (and I hate letting someone else fix my cars.)
I bought a Four seasons compressor and mine did not come with the sleeves. It is leaking but I can't find the leak. Prior to replacing the compressor, the system had no leaks. It runs out of freon about every two to three weeks. Can it leak, because it does not have a sleeve? Mine clearly stated not to put oil in it because it already had the oil in. any ideas?
I'd pull a vacuum on it and replace the oil for sure.
You're supposed to have a certain clearance in thousandth of an ince on the hose block once it's tightened to the compressor. You need to use a filler gauge once it's tight. I'll see if I can find the video I seen about it.
I found the leak it was the low side fitting. Thanks for your help.
I flushed the whole system and replaced the condenser, inserted the sleeve, vacuumed for over and hour and put dye in the system. No leaks
As the video clearly states..
Great info. I have struggled.
Amazing there were NO good videos explaining this stuff. This is why we did it.
More videos about this project here ua-cam.com/play/PL_5XjPVEw3swRL4ED9AhsynAgZsuXDzZm.html
Great! More stuff to leak!!!
Not if installed correctly. No issue at all.
I see those inserts like a Guide so it cannot move around, that way it gets centered ?
Thanks.❤
Do you have to have the pressure switch on the back of the compressor? I cant find it for my 1992 Silverado and my old one did not have one.
hard to find. keep searching.
Thank you..im pretty sure mine leaked because i used the seals that were flush into compressor...red..vs green. So the seals should stick up slightly vs flat to be compressed correct? Also I didn’t use an insert on discharge sideeither..after a year it let go on high side
The instructions that come with the kit explain it all.

@@HorsepowerHouse20 very interesting I had no idea how to use the different size bolt length the clamp my hose to the compressor so expecting is probably not sealing right after a couple years

Very informative video sir, I have the same truck as you do.
How many ounces of oil did you put in it?
And what type?
Thank you very much!!
See all videos in the playlist. Will answer all of your questions.
Thank you

I don't have a part number or link for the pressure switch. You will have to do as I did and just keep searching for one.
thanks dealing with leak for long time i discover mine dont have the insert
We found nothing anywhere online about this. So we did a bunch of videos. All on our channels.

Thankyou! Do you use lubricant for the washers?
No
Don't have to, but you can use poe oil just to lubricate, I've done in the past

I really appreciate this video..it's very specific and it was the kind I was looking for, I was wondering the last thing u did taking out the switch plug and putting a new one on...what part number or where did u get that pressure switch from I keep looking for it online but nothing comes up that looks exactly like that. It would truly help me if I know where u got the switch from so I can order mine as well, I an installing the sane compressor on my 84 corvette buy it didn't come with the switch so help is appreciated thank you.
I searched eBay for the switch. Had to look for it. Had no part number to go on. Just start searching.

Wish I saw this first . I return my ac compressor
The compressor wasn't the problem...
Do you know how many OZ of oil I need to add to the AC compressor for a 1984 C10?
ua-cam.com/play/PL_5XjPVEw3swRL4ED9AhsynAgZsuXDzZm.html
Do you know what size are the old rubber o-rings you popped off the old compressor
Sorry, no.

That pressure switch on back of compressor where you get it or look it up for part store
The exact one is hard to find. Google or ebay.
You can still get them from parts stores
I cant seem to find this switch for my 1992 k1500. The parts store searches keep showing me a threaded thing.
Life saver thank you...good ole GM trash 😅
well now i wish i haven't spent 300$ worth of freon for the last 5 years because of this stupid insert no one talks about, carries, or even comes with the kit, this seems to be one of those dealership scams than made it through but stayed like that
Most of the kits come with them. There's no "scam."
The problem is the instructions are unclear and trying to "figure it out" on your own is not easy. And there are few videos describing this task. (Which is why we did our video.) The next time I have my a/c rebuilt or replaced I will just pay the money and let the professional do it. Simple as that.
I went through two new compressors because of the shipping plug
@@kaatenmaat5885 so, does the shipping plug HAVE to be removed ?
Thanks for this. The instructions are USELESS!
I wouldn't say they are useless. But the don't make much sense at first. Which is why we made this video. There is no good info anywhere about doing this job.

great video..
I can’t thank you enough. I tracked a leak and decided I’d fix it. I’ve never messed w an A/C system. Bust the hose off, get a new hose…they gave me the hose with a male connector for the lower condenser connection. I needed female.
Saw I needed a vacuum pump, so ordered the correct hose and rented the pump. Get home, no hoses. Hoses are separate! Lol, thanks for the heads up, ABC Auto parts. Go back, get the hoses.
Come home, break it apart, see the green and gold gasket washers. Damn. Hey, ABC, do you got em? Yeah, we got em. Drive up there, they don’t. Call 6 diff parts houses, no one has them. Call an A/C shop, he gives me the number of his supplier. An old building piled with boxes, and they ONLY deal w paper and catalogs. No computers. My kinda place.
Breaking the condenser lines was tough. Rounded the welded nuts on the condenser. So, got a new condenser as well.
All to find out…the $20 seal kit is all I needed.
Now, I’m gonna hook up the vacuum pump, run it for a hour, check bleed off, throw a shot of oil and a shot of dye in it and charge the system.
I will never attempt this task again. As you saw, it's just too much to bother with.
