[Shop-talk] Air Compressor threw a rod

[Pat Horne]

Teflon or similar seals. Also called self-lubricating. Not nearly as good as oiled rings but cheap & easy to build.

So, do these oil-less compressors have a piston sliding in a cylinder?  (That's what it looks like in the photo).  How do they manage without lubrication?

Since I bought it used, I don’t know how old it is, or how it was used… Recently I fired it up and it began making a noise, so I shut it down, and found lots of plastic parts on the shop floor. Upon inspection, it has thrown a rod on one cylinder. The plastic parts were from the fan.  The issue is finding a connecting rod and cylinder kit for it, since it appears to no longer be made/sold, and sears parts direct doesn’t have the parts.

I’ve looked around Amazon, E-Bay, etc. and so far have found one kit, but its $139 for a single cylinder! See https://www.amazon.com/Benron-Equipment-Replacment-for-KK-4835/dp/B0814GP4ZH/ref=psdc_9022420011_t3_B00F9Z4A1G. there must be a better alternative.
