I have been sort of dormant over the past few days on the T, because I am a little dead in the water without the compressor. Didn't realize how much you depend on it for air grinders and tools.

The new one is going to be at the terminal tomorrow, so I can go pick it up (I tracked it today) and I got the old one out and found the problem. It was not a seal, one of the cylinders was totally loose on the crankcase. I could turn all four bolts that hold it down with my fingers. Evidently, someone was sleeping on the assembly line, and I never thought there was a reason to check it before I put it in service. The other 2 heads are real tight.

I will still send this one back, because it pumped every bit of oil out of the crankcase, and I'm sure the bearings have suffered. You can bet I check the ones on the new compressor before it gets used.
