Do you have the manual in pdf form or some way I can get a copy? I'd like to ass a first stage 2nd and third stage pressure gauge too and is it possiable to put a oil pressure gauge on them?

also what oil should i run for best in this compressor? mineral oil???
 
Filtration is pretty simple. You just need a moisture separator with relief valve, automatic drain, filter tower, PMV and mounting brackets for it all. Should be less than $2500 for it all.

Hi
If its been run on mineral oil the stick with it.
To change over to synthetic you must do a full strip down to remove any carbon build up.
If you just change to synthetic them the carbon will turn soft and break away,Damage will be done to pistons & cylinders.
A full rebuild on a 4s24 is about £3500 Uk pounds

I dont have manual on pdf but can send a copy to your land addressif you PM me your address.

Compressor is splash lubricated so no oil pump is fitted.
Yes you can fit gauges for 1st 2nd & 3rd stages easy.
The threads in to the cylinder ports is 1/4 BSP not NPT
 
If I dont k ow what's in it for oil how would I go about that? Oil sample for testing?
