York compressor information 

Good info. thanks! I just grabbed a York 209 out of a 1976 ChevyVan20 that was mounted to bottom not side of the unit. It sits on a factory mount that connects to the drivers side head and the water pump. Currently modifying the bracket to mount the unit more outboard vs almost dead center above water pump.

WARNING! The oil plug (known as "oil mod") should not be done without istallation of a Fog Oiler on the intake side. While the oiling passage lets some oil through the discharge, the oil is necessary to lubricate the piston heads, rings, and check valves of the compressor. Without the oil, the above listed components will not just wear out faster, but will become very hot under use and can sieze, shredding the fanbelt at best. Installing a coalescent filter on the output will remove any blow through oil, water or dirt. ATF is ideal for both the oiler and compressor oil gallery as it works in the fog oiler but is still thick enoug to lubricate properly in the compressor.

thanks for making the video!! appreciate your knowledge and input, f*ck these haters and trolls!

OK glad you cleared that up i found one on a 81 f-350 it has motorcraft stamped on it. Glad you pointed that out. i know to get it now. thanks

You can use steel wool as a baffle. Unscrew the plastic piece, shove some steel wool in, and screw your plastic piece back on

thanks for the video mine is a f209R date is 02 77 and it is on my 72 gmc truck.

For that little adapter, try a check valve for a fish tank it should be close to the same barb size as that piece you have. That should keep the oil from backing up.

Just a fyi. These style yorks also come on Semi trucks as the ac units. Both V-belt and Serpentine. They also have 4 different model yorks on different model semis. EX: peterbuilt may have a york 210 and freightliner may have a different york. They are very close in comparison but may be the 4in and 6in you were talking about in the begining of the vid. I have had my york on my nissan hardbody for 5years now without problems, IF given the proper maintenance.

thanks Seth Rogen.

In response to your vent mod im currently running an oil breather catch can ive taped both plugs to 1/8 npt with 2 1/8 90 npt hose barb on each side one side plumbed to the top of my breather ctach can and the other side to the bottum of the catch can when compressor runs oil blows into the catch can and allows for venting without losing oil the oil will then gravity drop through the bottum back into the compressor.

Thanks. Looking to do this on my 2003 Jeep TJ. Up-thumbed...

To baffle the oiler your neighbor made with his lathe, you could pack the hex stock with fine steel wool.

Mikey from orange county choppers?

Just use a self tap sheet metal screw

What's the max psi ? And even with a check valve it won't pass 100 the belt starts to slip and suggestions on how to fix it

Use compressor oil w40 or w30 (non detergent)

Where's the best place to get new gasket kits for these? I'm finding some online but too much wait time on shipping, i called auto, advance, oreilleys and napa, all said it would take days to get. I have the 209 version with the notch. mine came out of a 77 dodge rv with a 440

Did Seth Rogan make this video ?

what hole side is better/easier to blank off and what tap do you recommend to drill?

I have a york 209 and I can't get the valve plate to come off. I've tried using a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer on the underside of the plate lip but it wont budge. Does anybody know if it just being stubborn or is there something else I need to take off other then the cover bolts?
