the thing to remember is that the pump was originally used for an AC application and the low side is still pressurized so it's un likely this would be an issue in that application.
I was saying that in the AC application the oil blow by probably wouldn't happen but is now because the low side is at atmosphere.
If your tests prove positive, then couldn't you simply vent the crank case to the atmosphere? I've seen those tiny, brass filters on exhaust ports on pneumatic valves that should work for this app.
My initial thought would be that the brass filter would become a 'sprinkler' under my hood!alia176 said:If your tests prove positive, then couldn't you simply vent the crank case to the atmosphere?

I didn't realize it was a two piston setup which would negate the need for venting the case, one piston cancels out the other.
next question, is there more than one ring on the piston and are they properly indexed? If all the rings where installed so the breaks lined up it might lead to more oil passing by.
I did some digging around and it seems that replacing the piston rings or whatever is in there is not part of a rebuild. I've got a York on the bench that I'll take apart when the time comes to see WTF is up with all the oil. But there are a few projects ahead of it.
Rick,
Here is a nice write up with good pics. for replacing all gaskets. Just found it.
