RV2 AC compressor Rebuild help
Here are some pictures what I was going to use. The black compressor was the one in my car, problem was the oil fill bolt was over tightened and made a stress crack in the case now its useless. I purchased one from a member on here and planed on rebuilding it, the one pictured on the left. I have also shown the pictures of the kits I purchased. I also have a new crank. What I did notice is the pistons from the 2 kits that include the 1 piston and 3 gaskets is that the piston and rod overall length is shorter and they also have a star indent pattern on the piston top and the side skirt is shorter. The stock only has a round indent in the center of the piston top. Part numbers on the compressor heads are the same. Cylinder bore and length are the same. Compressor cases look the same other than one houses a smaller front bearing and the other is bigger.
The only thing I plan on changing now since the NOS pistons look like they might be the wrong ones as they are shorter is: New metal gaskets, crank with smaller bearing, reuse the stock pistons as they really are not in bad shape.
Compressor on the left is the one that will be rebuilt as stated above. Right is there just to show that there are 2 different bearing sizes.
Crank shafts with different bearing sizes.
