I am in the process of replacing the crank pins on my Dana compressor. One
of the pins broke leaving me with only one cylinder pumping. My question
is, what is used to lubricate the moving parts of this compressor? There
appears to be a graphite type of substance thrown around in the crankcase.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA

Contact Norman Dubner 410-747-0215. He knows more about a stock GMC than
almost anybody alive. He also probably has the parts you need at his house to
rebuild your compressor. He lives near Social Security. If you don't know
Norman, call me off line before you meet him.

Rick,

Didn't see where anyone had tackled your question directly. The compressor
is "oilless". IIRC, either the cylinders are graphite impregnated or the
pistons have graphite rings, but there is no other cylinder lubrication.

Patrick
