Hey Greg!!
Does that mean I will have to find some one else to pick on ? I look forward to your return. We may not always agree, but you do provide some excellent advice to many !! Good Luck with your project !!

And I'll warn them that the tolerances are so tight that unless you have the special tools that you cannot buy unless you're a dealer, that you should not even think about disassembling a R4 compressor.

Ok, I am pretty much back....
Thanks for the nice thoughts...and the funny ones too..... Thayer reminds me that I have not listened to my Stuart Smalley self help tapes lately... must do that soon...and regularly.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Smalley Thanks to Larry Bible and others who know who they are for keeping up the fight against bad physics and bad philosophy and some downright hucksters in the AC arena... having looked at the current threads in that area... it is amazing that the same junk information is still just as alive and well as when I left....... Perhaps someday I may get a chance to do my ' definitive ' reference AC thread ... but am feeling like the daily battle on that subject is futile... My most sincere thanks to Rick Miley for imposing a much needed deadline on my project and creating conditions which would not allow me to procrastinate any further...and his enthusiastic analysis and consultations over this last weekend. Greg

Well, welcome back. It was kind of quiet around here for a few days .
There will be another group coming on board with another set of AC questions about the latest Junk freon to add to the mix. same old questions, just a new class. I think the larger refrigeration plants use Ammonia to freeze things down. wonder why someone hasn`t tried that one yet. propane was the topic last week.. Larrybible was riding heard on the group and keeping things tiddied up . he can take a little break now. Charlie
