Lot of good info in this thread. Many pics also. Also have a bunch of pics from when I changed over th synthetic lithium grease instead of oil on the bearing side of the compressor - very quiet and still working great!

you are better of not using a rubber hose up to the compressor. You can get a high heat rubberf hose, but copper is much better here.

The oiler has to stay full all the time as well. the compressor will not last long without oil.

also remember the vibration is a bitch, so make sure your setup can handle that as well.
