[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 633352, member: 3960"] These AC compressors are a multi cylinder setup with a double ended piston. Usually 4 or 5 cylinders with the equivalent of 8 or 10 pistons so they produce a very high volume output and extremely high pressure as well. There's a bit of a hassle getting around the lubrication but it's well worth the exercise. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3960/1643605258_ac_compressor.jpg[/img] There are no beadlocks on these rims so no air = no seal and if the tyre is flat on the bottom then the distortion in the sidewall will prevent a seal at the bead until sufficient pressure is inside to make the seal. If the valve is removed (I did) then it must be refitted while maintaining some air pressure otherwise you're back to a flat tyre with no bead seal. [/QUOTE]
