Just remember to look for the 210 model not the 206 or 209....

just had a look through some of those sites and noticed that if i wanted to use a oem compressor, id have to get an air tool oiler. i've never seen these things before, does anyone know how much they're worth? and obviously you'd have to fill it with oil ever so often?

York 210s go for $50 all day, and when you plug the oil gallery they don't need/use/dump any oil. They also push a sh!tload of air, like enough to run a rattle gun. The R209s are almost as good.

XD (and maybe XE and XF) Falcons run these pumps, but they are generally badged as 'Motorcraft'. Same pump though. Some Older Falcons run Yorks. I got two Yorks from Volvos - a 209 and a 210. $90 for both.

spoke to my old man a while ago and he reckons the best way to go would be to get a nippon denso compressor that would be much more efficient than the york compressors. and he said that you could either drip feed oil into them, or just hit em with a bit of oil everynow and then if you weren't using them constantly.
