  11. when you came in, it showed you as logging in and out 100+ times in about 30 seconds so it looked like your account was being hacked bro. working on the reversal right now.
  12. Usually a case of over charged, or its low or under charged. cooling fan not working right or at all can do it too. Can also be caused by a restriction causing the high side pressure to jump way the hell up and activate the high pressure cut off switch. Can happen on the low side too with a restriction causing the low side to be sucked abnormally low by the compressors natural actions, but a restriction doing that on the low side is extremely rare. Usually if you have a issue with low side pressure, your high side is way to high as well if its due to a restriction. On most cases, both low and high presures will be higher than they should be will be higher In a normal condition if your lowside is low as hell, so is your high side when a restriction isnt present.
  13. I messed with Sketchup once and said SCREW THIS. Grabbed the paper and architects scale and went back to work on the plans. Some of us old guys just aint meant to mess with some of the newer software. we're to stuck in our ways lol Enclosure draw up looks bad ass, hats off to Decaf
  14. the condensation is normal, its supposed to sweat just like a cold coke bottle sittign on your desk for a while. And if a just low charge of 1-2 ounces can cause a 60-80% loss of oil movement, yes it can hurt the compressor. bad thing is, you wont even feel it at the vents either.
  15. thats what its intention was for, but if you have a leak you suck moisture into the system. the sealer reacts with moisture to actually become a solid so any moisture that has crept its way in due to a leak will end up turning solid where ever the sealer and moisture meet at. Condensor, evap core, expansion valve, in an a/c line or where ever. once you haev that in there and it has gone through its chemical reaction and has become a solid, if it breaks loose anywhere you all of the sudden have a small bullet flying around in your a/c system unless it gets lodged in a filter or in the orfice tube if your vehicle has one. its been known to actually clog up an a/c system to the point that it wont cool anymore either after causing major restrictions throughout the system or gumming up a compressor to teh point it can hardly turn and almost locks up. Remember, an a/c compressor is a pump as is your engine. would you like your compressor or your engine chewing up solid chunks of shit? would be like dropping a bolt down the throttle body of your car. Since i am getting all super descriptive here, let me clue you in on another thing with r134a. IT'S GONNA LEAK IN SMALL AMOUNTS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. Back in 96 and 97, the mobile air conditioning society had thier hands full testing what they thought were manufacturer defects on a shit load of under warranty compressors (r134a started to be used in the 93-94 model years). Come to find out, it wasnt a compressor problem at all. a r134a molecule is 1/200th the size of the old R-12 refrigerants molecule, therfore it escapes out of small seal sepage leaks extremely easy as well as general expansion and contraction due to temprature changes (think of what your underhood temps do during the winter months). Over the period of a year, the average A/C system on a newer car using r134a will leak 1 to 2 ounces. dont seem like shit does it. it wasnt with the old r12 stuff but a 1 to 2 ounce low charge can cause a 60-80 percent loss of oil movement through the a/c system. An a/c compressor requires oil just like the engine in your car does so whats gonna happen if you starve your cars engine for oil? It's gonna lock up eventually or become extremely noisy and work innefficiently. The newer cars using r134a refrigerant are a critical charge as you can see if they stop moving oil significantly with being 1 to 2 ounces low. This means they are a critical charge system and have to be charged to exact specifications. The gauge on your can of refrigerant from walmart can get you close but not exact if you know what you are doing. The old pressure charts dont work for 134a. The old sight glass trick dont work on 134a. you have to completely suck the car down into a vacuum and refill it to get the charge weight correct or you are starving the compressor for oil even though you think you just recharged it how it should be because that cheap ass gauge said you are good.
  16. I can see you are determined to do this no matter what, but do yourself a favor if you ever want/need to have this done professionally in the future or need to have other parts of the system repaired. DO NOT BUY THE CANS THAT INCLUDE SEALER. You put the type with sealer in it and you do more harm than good.
  17. Voivod being in the line up aught to make for a good show as well with the others that will be there. Just sucks Phil and Vinnie Paul will never be playing together again. And as for Dime.. R.I.P. my fallen brutha...
  18. To Pole Vent, or not to Pole Vent, that is the question. In all honesty, it has alot to do on how the drivers cooling system is designed. Just because it doesnt have a pole vent does not mean it is a better, or an inferior driver to another that does or doesnt have that characteristic. most drivers that do not have one, have additional cooling channels machined into the motor structure to actually channel the air around the coil better to force a wind tunnel affect to help cool the coil in a more efficient fashion. Look up Fi's Bp option that is offered on the SSD and Q series, kind of an example of what is done to help increase the cooling affect...
  19. After ya puke, yer supposed to keep on drinkin man, even if it is the next morning. Damn rookies lol
