Wanted: Cylinder head for Holman CompAir compressor
StephenM - August 27th, 2017 at 12:38 PM

Recently picked up a Holman CompAir stationary engine compressor engine with a bug, the engine seems to have everything except the cylinder head. Previous owner says it didn't come with it.

Hoping someone may have one they removed and kept if an engine was converted and used for a vehicle.

Also interested in instructions or parts manuals.

That is what she looked like, the body and compressor tank were pretty rusty so I sent it to be remade into Fords or Kias and saved the motor.
I am under the pump at the moment but will have a look shortly.

Compressor head

Mackaymanx
Do you have these heads and if so are they for sale ??


mackaymanx - August 28th, 2017 at 04:31 PM

I'm doing a compressor so no, I do have two sets but the reed valves are broken in one set. I find when I'm using my sand blaster my electric compressor finds it hard to keep up, so I want more grunt.


StephenM - August 28th, 2017 at 07:58 PM

They look different to what i saw in a picture today... will try get it up.


Grasack - August 28th, 2017 at 10:21 PM

mackaymanx
understandable they would provide a much better and consistent flow. Yeah reed valves are hard to find as I have been looking for one of my mates and cannot locate anywhere
Hope you get it up and running soon

This might be more familiar
