BY POSTING THE PIC, I THINK YOU CLEARED IT UP FOR A LOT OF VIEWER`S.
TO GIVE AN IDEA OF THE MACHINED ROD DURABILITY.
1965 I BOUGHT A USED SHOP AIR COMPRESSOR THAT HELD 180 PSI, WHICH IS NICE FOR IMPACT TOOLS, ETC. PD $325. FOR IT. THIS WAS A HEAVY DUTY INDUSTRIAL UNIT.
AFTER ABOUT 10 YRS I HAD TO HAVE THE ALUMINUM ROD CRANK END RESIZED (IT HAD NO INSERT). ABOUT 1985 I BOUGHT A LARGE SHOP WITH A LARGE 3 PHASE COMPRESSOR.
LISTED THE OLD COMPRESSOR IN THE SHOPPER AND AFTER OVER 20 YRS OF MUCH USE, SOLD IT FOR $325.. THE OIL STAYS CLEAN IN A COMPRESSOR.
SO000, THAT GIVES AN IDEA OF HOW LONG THE MACHINED ROD CAN LAST.
