Nice update. It was the head gasket... $9 part ... the bolts that hold the motor in needed to be loosened and the motor needed to be shimmied over, because it was slow-building + when the compressor cuts out at 110 and gets back down to 70, the pulley wasnt catching the belt so it would basically sit there and slip until you pushed on the motor. Now it builds 2x faster! The only problem with it now is the valve which is leaking air, which is prolly a $10 part ... then Im gonna strip it down again ... sand the tank, paint it, and its ready for use
