For the second time I have taken the 300K into the A/C shop. The new clutch assembly is working fine. The new condenser is working fine. Now when they try to get a full charge the fitting at the front of the compressor is leaking.
The fun part is that I have THREE different gaskets for that fitting.
The one on the car is leaking. I will take it off in the AM. The shop tried a new O-ring and it did not seal…. Mt question to this august group is can anyone tell me which one they have used and it does not leak and/or does one use a combination of the O-ring and one of the others?
Since it is a 40-minute drive and waiting around for 4 hours each time I go to the A/C shop (nobody in San Francisco can deal with old car A/C) I end up killing an entire day. I
really do not want to go for round three and come home warm. Any ideas would help? I have a couple of spare fittings, and I took the better looking of the two and hand lapped it on my lapping plate in a figure eight motion to make sure it
is flat. The only other thing that may be possible is the furnace braze of the tube to the mounting plate may be leaking and the shop is perceiving it as the sealing material. The problem is that I do not have a compressor that can generate 250 PIS head pressure
at home to test it. Hug!
