I GOT MY NEW ENGINE(Pic's added)

Well, my '67 has the single piston. I could be wrong, but the tag says '66 on it. That's all I know besides seeing single piston compressors on older units like mine.

hmmm I'm calling Hercules to find out.

Well, my '67 has ....(snip) older units like mine.

older... yours is barely broken in

My last truck had a depot rebuild in 91 and it had the 2 cyl air compressor. I bought a couple of old trucks from GL that had obviously not been running in a long while and they both had the single cylinder. My current truck only had 580 miles on a new or rebuilt motor and it has the 2 cyl version. I dont know for sure but I would think the 2 cyl is the newer version. Seems like a better design.

Is spooge around the head like that at the rear indicative of a bad head gasket or is there always a touch of leakage and slobber?

 

[red devils dude]

the leck on back of my old engine was from a incorrectly installed head gasket.

BFR,

With almost 40K miles I believe it's safe to say she's broken in well. I got her with less than 20K.
