Wonder if something got screwed up during the reed replacement?
improper torque on head /o ring pinch, possible ^^^^^^^

[QUOTE=River-Bandit;8704672]Update ,,,, connecting rod in the compressor broke, no obvious signs as to why, Why ? I'm a Merc compressor,"It's what we do ",we usually wait til your at the other end of the lake
OK... Update ,, had a look at the compressor and the conn rod did not break , looks like the big end (crank side) bearing failed , the rod is all there but the crank end is deformed and elongated , the crank journal was bent upwards , the journal is dark but not blue like it was starving for oil,,,, the wrist pin bearing was still in good shape and the piston was free in the bore,,,, the cylinder bore was scored on the very bottom , none of the piston rings were stuck and appeared to be fine, the top of the piston had no damage at all,,,
, at some point the piston did hang in the bore , not sure if it was from the bearing parts getting in the cyl. or exactly what , but the wrist pin was pulled out the bottom of the piston, both of the wrist pin bosses were broke off and laying in the bottom of the compressor , the outside area of the wrist pin holes were fine, just pulled out the bottom,, ,,, so there you have it folks
