Remove the unloader valve cap and the unloader valve spring.

NOTE: Disassembly of the center unloader valve on Holset® two cylinder air compressors is similar to the single cylinder unloader valve.

To avoid damage to the air compressor, do

not allow any debris to fall into the air compressor cylinder.

NOTE: Do

not use a screwdriver. A screwdriver can gouge the top of the piston.

Insert the small end of a 3/8 inch drive socket extension (6 to 10 inches long) through the exhaust valve seat onto the top of the piston.

Bar the crankshaft over until the compressor piston reaches top dead center (TDC), and the extension starts to move downward approximately 3 to 6 mm [1/8 to 1/4 inch].

NOTE: To prevent damage to the top of the piston, do

not use a hammer.

Give a quick, hard push downward on the extension and listen for a metallic click as wear clearance is taken up.

 
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


If significant piston motion is felt or a metallic click is heard, the pin bores can be worn, and the compressor

must be examined further.

If no motion or sound is heard, the compressor is in satisfactory condition and does

not need to be replaced.

NOTE: All air compressors will

not exhibit pin bore wear.
